Theory and practice
… I pondered: what am I going to do with berries of Wild Siberian Sea buckthorn: eat with honey, make jam, make juice, add to vodka or…? What if, after all the culinary delights, I use a few remaining berries as seeds and plant them? Having never been engaged in planting, I took up the matter with eagerness and enthusiasm of a person who does not know all the nuances, therefore does not envision any difficulties. For starters, I wrote a letter to the presenter of those berries: "Can you please advise how to plant them?" I received a laconic reply: "Crush the berries, dry the seeds and plant". Easy! So I crushed and dried them. "But how do I plant them?" – I asked for the second time. I got an even more stingy answer: "Do not forget to stratify". Do what?! Then an old friend of mine gave me a straightforward advice: "Look on the Internet". That’s a good start! So I open the all-knowing Internet and find a few scant articles of specialists for specialists, and start experimenting. I lightly wet the prewashed under tap water and after dried sand, mixed it with the seeds (so how will I find them in the sand???), poured that mix into a jar from some dessert, covered it with gauze on top (personal decision ?), and placed it in the lower compartment of the «Deli Center» refrigerator. In my daily planner I marked that once a week it is necessary to stir the sand, and after about six weeks the seeds can be planted. So, let the stratification begin! ?
