That is exactly what I did. Some spouted in about a week, and every one of them germinated, though some from the same pod took a week, and others took closer to a month. Even after keeping them dry in the fridge for 3 years, I've had 100% germination. Again, some sprouted in a week, and others took longer, but none took over a month. Also, I brought all of my extra seeds with me when I moved. They had been in the fridge for a few months. I took them out while moving, and didn't have them chilled. So, maybe 2 days out. I put them back in for a year, and they all germinated when I added moisture. This is why I will only germinate them this way.
