50 foxtail seeds arrived in 10 days from Florida.
I hope the 26 bucks postage was worth it 😕
Big seeds, so I put them in a couple of old pillowcases, tied a knot, and into a hot water bath in the washing machine, which helped clean the seeds.
After their bath, rubbed the papery coating off:
A rinse, and then into clean warm water for 2-3 days, while I look for containers!
NOTE: Don't use your wife's good pillowcases!
And hopefully one day, this will be the result!

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

You will soon have little Foxtails in every window 😆
Good luck with them Barb, looks like a great winter project!
