Thanks everyone for all the welcomes and help on getting them going. Since where I live in Texas we don't have enough seriously cold days to do any winter sowing I'll have to go with putting these in the fridge for a couple of months. I know the few seeds I have are not very new but I ordered some from eBay last night that are supposed to be from last year. So basically all I need to do at any time is wrap them in a damp paper towel, put in a plastic baggie and place in the fridge for a couple of months keeping the paper towel damp. I understand this removes the germination inhibitor from the seed? After the 2 months I'll place them in my 2"x2" 1020 tray inserts and cover with the dome. Does that all sound about right? Do these need to go into a couple different sized pots before going into the ground like some of my plants or can they go from the inserts directly to the ground? Sorry for all the questions but my wife saw these and found out I had some seeds and really wants me to give them a try.
