Thanks for providing this info.

Did not have any luck with these last year. Any suggestions welcome.
Mary, I don't recall very many folks even posting back on results, which tends to make me think most didn't have much luck with the seeds. They would be close to 20 years old, since they were given to Craig in '90.

What I would do is soak them overnight to 24 hours in warm water containing a pinch of fertilizer. Then I would sow them in a soilless seed starting mix, being careful not to get them either too shallow or too deep. I'd probably also get the heat mat out, even though I usually only use it for pepper seeds (alternatively, find a warm spot to set the flat). Be prepared to wait 3 or even 4 weeks before you see germination (if at all).
