Planting-planting…
It turned out that during stratification it’s not that hard to mix sand with seeds in a pot manually with a teaspoon once a week. During this period I no longer moistened the sand. It was harder to separate sand from the seeds after the stratification period was over. I remembered how my mother paleontologist used to separate under a microscope fossil shells from rocks, so I scattered sand across the kitchen bar and reproduced the procedure (only without a microscope)?. The selected seeds I washed with water and a small amount of potassium permanganate (I don’t remember where I read about it?). In the garage I found old pots, some remaining soil and sand. I then mixed the soil with a small amount of sand (they say it’s good for sea buckthorn!) and redistributed the mixture in pots. But! The seeds were all wet, stuck to hands and it was difficult to separate them from one another... So in short, I made ??little holes in the soil about 1,5-2 centimetres deep at a distance of about three centimetres from each other, put seeds in all of them however much I could, covered it all with soil, watered and… basically prayed to God it’ll work out!
Having learned about my agricultural experiments, some expert farmers immediately criticized, saying: "Why did you plant in the winter? You had to do it closer to the spring!" And where were you all before, when I was strategizing stratification?
About a week later the seeds began to sprout. Hooray! However, some pots are filled with them, some are completely empty – oh well, that’s how I managed to plant... The process lasted for about three weeks. Since buckthorn loves the light, I put all the pots closer to the window next to my desk – to please the eye?
