I had given up hope that the first seeds I received from Canada in January 2013 would germinate but a few seeds sprouted around New Year, and then I received some more seeds from Jonna in Belgium. I also received seeds from from another person, so all of a sudden I had lots.
I kept the seeds moist in the fridge for a couple of months and they sprouted very well.
I have kept the seedlings in my living room window and put them outside a few times when the weather was warm. I still have not transplanted them, I think I will do that late this fall. I will keep them in a cool greenhouse during the winter and put them outside late next spring.
I hope your seedlings are doing well too.
