Scarification works wonders on hard seeds. When I use to grow the jacaranda trees, (germination was always low - got to 50% soaking the seeds in fertilizer)
Barb,
Buttermilk did alright by me too. I remember my grandmother used to make butter from cream and of course what was left over was buttermilk. They would use rope to hang it in a bucket down a 110' hand dug well. They didn't have electricity. This would keep the buttermilk cool. I remember drinking it when I was around 6 years old and thinking it tasted sooo good.
