Feral wheat hand thresh
Community college has this oak growing on the campus, it's leaves aren't very "oak like" but look at the acorns! I'm going to winter stratificate in damp sand.
I had early heat waves this summer that killed my peas but I managed to get 1 ripe pod.
So Wheat, pea, lettuce in moisture proof bags and fridge and acorns in sand that's 4 very different plants.

Rub seedhead like fur wrong way then roll like playdough
Got physalis, black walnut, poncirus, black locust, Japanese yam, Kentucky coffee tree in the specified quantities at least. Also included a bag of unprocessed ginkgo seeds and to be processed honey locust, I tore two open to verify they were not an infertile pod producing tree.

I can't send more than a pic at a time (am using a mobile phone) should I spam the thread or send PMS to an admin?

I had trouble uploading photos from my phone for a long time. Then I started using an android application called Photo Compressor. If you can decrease the file size of the photos to a few 100 kilobytes each with a compression/resizing software it makes it easy to upload upwards of 20 photos at one go.
