A few weeks ago, some of the guys in my office had to go to North Carolina for an install. When they came back, they brought a dried cotton plant with them. My boss ended up giving me the plant and I've had it on my desk ever since.
Today I got bored and pulled a chunk of the cotton from the plant and proceeded to pull out all the seeds. I had no idea there were so many seeds in such a small piece of cotton! Geez.
Anyway, now I want to plant the seeds and see if I can harvest them. I doubt it will work, but it's worth a try. Anybody ever done this before?

Please blog about it if you try it! I'm always intrigued by growing useful things most people don't bother with.
Check out this link http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/tngard/msg120707565343.html if you've got a minute. It looks like it should grow fine in your area. (I couldn't seem to find any site telling what zones it grows in, but you're in about the same zone as east Tennessee due to the mountains down there.)
