I'm about half-way through scanning Stipa seeds and organizing them for planting, and may have underestimated how many we have! I thought we'd have approximately 6 seeds per maternal plant and, if we collected from 400 maternal plants in the field, that's 2400 seeds. Stuart picked ~2600 positions to plant in. Plenty, right? Well, after assigning positions to seeds from 208 plants, I have 214 to go. That means I underestimated the number of plants we collected from. Also, we're averaging more like 6.4 seeds per maternal plant. Another underestimation. I think we need another 200 positions to comfortably assign all seeds to their new homes the garden. What do you think?
