Ditto. I understand they are VERY temperamental and difficult to grow! Wishing us all tons of luck!

My intructions were to soak them for 24H in hand hot water with a few drops of peroxine. The next replace this with plain hand hot water. Continue this process until the seeds become slightly swelled.

I also read where you could soak them in Saltpeter in warm water for 72 hours. The source (?) recommended using hand hot water and putting the water/seeds into a thermos to keep them warm.

I'm going to try both methods.
