Isn't it funny what we find when we start looking for something and know what that something is. Thank you to Tania who initially brought this problem to light and Ted for reinforcing it with his analytical inspection of my seeds. Until now how many people would actually inspect for or suspect damaged seeds for non germination problems. It's always been, well it must be a bad seed. Not, why is it a bad seed.
And I would be willing to bet in 99% of the cases when seed is received as a gift or in trade, germination problems will not be reported. But hopefully that will change. And I'm glad to hear we have a person out there who is very knowledgeable on mail sorting machines.
