Ah, those fancy terms from the city agricultural office. Physiological dormancy, that one is inside the seed, like our tamarind seeds sleeping through the dry season. Physical dormancy, that’s a hard coat, like our country bean—it won’t let a drop of water in. Scarification? That’s just a big word for what my aunty does with her old stone mortar, rubbing them a bit before sowing. For me, the real trick is knowing which ones the goats have passed through their stomachs—those are the ones that sprout without any fuss at all.
