My seeds were harvested , put in fridge for 4 wks. + , on damp paper in a ziplock baggie, then planted in cold frame,1/4" deep. Watered regular. The cold frame is south facing,and the potting mix is aprox. 10" deep. (Will try to post pictures of cold frame). Seedlings sprout rather quickly. Look ok now, I put a tarp over the cold frame if we are going to have several days of 10 degree or below weather , the tarp is removed as soon as it gets above that or brite sunny days. Of course I have to water a little on warmer days. But they seem to grow a little up to probably mid December at least here. The divided part of the cold frame is testing two different potting soils. Seedlings are usually 4" - 10" tall by may 1st when they are removed from cold frame and plant dept in prepared seedling bed. I have 380 seeds in cold frame. Thanks again for your reply.
