I plant mine right in the ground and don't seem to have a problem with them growing.

1 pack is 3 years old and the other is brand new, the park seed fiasco thread (!).

they both started to rot and i tossed them all. i cleaned the dishes and soaked a new batch of each variety in warm water over night. i then planted them in promix. within 3-4 days some were up. on 4/18 i planted them all outside.

seems the soak until they sprout did not work this year tho i did have success in past years. i made a note in my gardening document to just soak over night not until they sprout. i lost almost 2 weeks but they are out now.
