There are many ways to start your seeds. Everyone has their favourite way. What I do is put my seeds in the fridge for a minimum or 6 wks. Longer if I am not ready to start them. When I do I put them in a small baggie with water and Hydrogen peroxide solution (10 % Hydrogen peroxide 90 % water) and put them in a cool dark cupboard. I check on them daily. If the water becomes cloudy you have at least 1 bad seed. I check to see which one(s), usually it is soft, or kind of slimey. I get rid of that one and wash the remaining seeds and place them in a fresh baggie in the solution and place back in the dark cupboard. You will see the small white root slowly breaking thru the dark seed. When it has grown for about 2 days I plant them in small pots and label them and put them in a sunny location and I use grow lights during the winter months, if I start them that early.
It can take a while or can be in a couple of days for the seeds to sprout.
