    When starting buffalo grass seed, would this clipping method work?

    I kept some plum seeds from a month ago and forgot about them until I read this. Would this method still work ?

    The answer still does not tell u where to snip the seed. Is there a particular spot?

    Don't snip too much off....pic looks like she's cutting it in half! This won't work with all seeds, just ones that are super hard (Texas bluebonnets, for example)
