Lilli, I was going through some of my starred posts and was wondering if you ever got good results and which method was best?
Well, so far I do not see any decisive difference between those soaked in tea, in water and not soaked at all. However, I see a big difference between the ones I just put in pots outside and the ones I kept in the fridge and then potted (in late fall) - two of those actually germinated right away and are now pretty big plants, which will be planted out in my seedling bed this year. The rest of the refrigiated seeds have germinated quite well, while only one plant (!) from the non-refrigiated seeds has shown itself so far.
I do not think this is conclusive as I suspect the soil pots with the non-refrigiated seeds might have been too dry at some point during winter and germination has stalled because of it. But I will keep experimenting and keep you posted of course!
I remember other people trying out various methods. How did that turn out??
