This year, I am going to try the weak tea water and then the

Have you read the books published by Norman Deno about germination? They are up on the USDA website. He has ceased publishing them and these are PDFs of his work.
I link through the J L Hudson website as it has the persistent links to the USDA site.

Hope your seeds germinate this year. I even tried some cold stratification on some old ones I had to see if it would help their low germination rates. Interesting stuff.
Sorry to hijack the thread.
