I had a seed this year that had a little root coming out when I picked the pod. I just put it into the frig (after drying for two days) with the rest of them. I'm not ready to plant them yet, so the little guy, hopefully, will change his mind and wait. If not...oh well, it wasn't meant to be. I suppose I could have thrown it in with a house plant to see if it would grow. I should have thought of that before
