Sowing the old seeds

Sowing the old seeds

When my grandfather Harald Fredrik Jansson died a few years ago now, we found this wooden box. It's filled with old seeds. My grandfather went to a agricultural school in Sigtuna in the late 1920ths and the seeds have been lying this box ever since. But now over the weekend they have been planted in the greenhouse at the park here in Tungelsta. If we are lucky some of the plants could be seen in the park later in the year.

What a wonderful find, Stefan. I hope that you keep us updated on the results of the planting!!

Well for his sake, I hope they all grow and fill the world with more beautiful older things. Old seeds can last forever if they are kept properly and I have an idea these will all grown.

So any updates about how the Seeds germinated? Good Love...

So how did the Seed Germination go? An old post, but I'm hopefull some ancient life sprouted.. Ormus would be great in this situation to activate dormant DNA in the Seed..

The last I heard from Jan Sandh was that they didn't get any result at all. That was a while ago, so I will ask again to see if there are any news,
