Great to hear this, Craig. I find it fascinating, this cultivation of historic varieties. Astounding how seeds so old can be coaxed to germination. I wonder if some day they'll have the technology to automatically reconstruct a seed based on the DNA that can be read from it, allowing the production of fruits/grains/vegetables from thousands of years go.
