The seeds are floating again, well, not the same seeds but a new batch. I have picked cabbage and radish seeds because both types were referenced by Darwin in his research and for no other reason. At the moment they hit the water most of the cabbage seeds went stright for the bottom of the container. So now I know this is not just an error of the first experiment. (Good to know.)
As for the radish seeds, more of them like the surface of the water over the bottom, but not that many more. So if I learn nothing else from this experiment, radish may be my seed of choise for this silly story. They have been floating since sunday the 11th and no other detail of note at this time. We will start removeing seeds from the water after 10 days of floating and plant three seeds a day to see which ones will grow.
New topic for the blog.......Reverse Pyschology, fact or fiction. I say fact!
Questions: 1) Is sea foam out on deep water in a constant enough state to support your seeds for any decent length of time? 2) Would adding a current in the water keep those seeds floating? Maybe some hitch a ride on strands of seaweed...
