Same question Tammy and Kevin, did you take the seed out of the pod? I do not keep the seeds in the fridge more than a few weeks, if that. If I'm ready I just plant them straight from the pods into seed trays. Then after seedlings are around 6 weeks they will go into the ground.
I think there is a lot of confusion on seeds IMHO. I think originally the whole 3-6 weeks in the fridge idea was to break dormancy. But to do this they need to be in a moist environment (in a water/peroxide solution, damp paper towel, moist vermiculite, etc) then bringing them to room temp and they supposedly germinate faster. Just storing them in the fridge is cold, dry storage. Some people don't even store them in the fridge, they just put in envelopes and store in closet, desk, or other place.
