Wow Mitch, I have never heard of doing it that. So are they wet in the coffee filter? What does doing that do if you take them out to peel?

My first year doing them I would peel them then put in damp paper towels in a plastic bag. They would germinate in the plastic bag and then I would plant them up.

I didn't have such great germination rate as you did, Mitch. You can't argue with success. LOL

Now I use rockwool, but I know some here use dirt. In using either, I would place the peeled seeds on top of the rockwool, slightly pressed in but where you can see the tops. Then I bag them in clear plastic, seal the bag and place under lights. I do not use bottom heat and I only soak the seeds if they are old. I know some here do not even peel their seeds, I prefer to. I get great germination.

Let us know how you do, jjayroe. They grow so fast they are fun to watch.
