Ok. I really wanted to get a hold of myself this year. I wasn't really naughty though.... i only bought two more types of seed. Green shiso and Cherokee purple tomato. I already have red shiso, but i wanted to try the green. I also had a disappointment with Cherokee purple last year... i think it was last year. I had one seed left and it sprouted, but i killed it before it got its first set of true leaves. That seed was from years ago, when we were living in an apartment and i unsuccessfully tried patio gardening. Something like 10 years ago.
That is all i bought, honest!
I got them from a seller on eBay, cheap shipping, etc. The two seed packs were less than $5 with shipping. Hopefully i will get to taste the elusive (to me) Cherokee purple tomato...

Schizandra from seed part 2
The seeds have soaked for 5 days, so now on to the next step: Cold stratifying.
After a couple of days most of the floating seeds began to sink. All but one did this.
The seeds were rinsed at least once a day for 5 days.
The instructions on the back of the seed packet suggested using moist cotton, so that is what i used:
I spaced them just so none are touching and covered them with a piece of damp paper towel.
Cover on and labeled, ready for a few weeks in the fridge.
