This could be the cause of your problems

[TZ -OH6]

Here is a quote from Agriculture of the Hidatsa Indians (aka Buffalobird Woman's Garden) discussing the method of presprouting squash seeds before planting. The equivalent of starting seeds indoors for us.

"Sed si femina in domo menstrua erat, she should tell it so that the package of seeds could be removed to the next lodge, or they would spoil."


A racy statement for the anthropologists of the early 20th century, hence the latin.
