I'm starting to be convinced that the coat has a germination inhibitor in it.

I can take no credit.

It was the one little seed that said "I think I can!" Just hope it survives. Does anyone know of a source for fresh seeds where the shipping isn't prohibitive?

Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.

I got mine at swallowtail gardens 2 dollar for 30 seeds .. that right there hints that germination is not all that great. Don't remember what the shipping cost was - but then again I order a lot of other stuff too.

I got my new ones on Etsy...2.95 for ten seeds and shipping was 1.65...not real cheap on the seeds. Can't speak for the freshness but worth a try https://www.etsy.com/transacti...

I ordered seeds from Ed Hume $1.89 + $2.00 shipping.

I started 3 more seeds: used nail file and tweezers and now soaking in h. peroxide/H2O.

Woo Hoo! My one little sprouted seed decided to break ground this morning! So maybe it will survive my mauling after all!

I still have a few seeds left, so I'm going to give them the same treatment and see if I can maybe get another to sprout. Couldn't hurt!

So excited for you, woofie.

I've sown the 3 seeds in dirt and decided to use my heating pad for bottom heat.
