There is evidence that the squash seeds found in this little pot are about 800 years old. Here is a link to a little about that story and what grew from those seeds in a 2015 garden. I find it especially interesting that this pot was found in Wisconsin and the present day garden is in southern Canada.

(There is also a link to an earlier article on Glass Gem corn in the same publication.)

I would love to get some of those seeds. Just for the cool story.
