Nicely, nicely. And there's no doubt that the squash is old, and missing in action. But 800 years? Maybe.
Not that dating was done to the clay pot, not the seeds themselves. So there's a lot more work to be done, yet, before concluding that the seeds and the pot are the same age. Even so, it's always nice when a thought to be extinct variety is restored. |
