• Thread-topic: Starting mesquite seeds

I gathered up some seeds from the local mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa)
last year, found them while cleaning out drawers the other day and
decided to start them.  I read that they need either scarification or
treating with boiling water.
I haven't done scarification before but I'm thinking I would just rub
them on sandpaper a little. How would you do the boiling water trick?
Put them in a colander and pour it over, or soak them for a few minutes?
The website doesn't say how to do it.
