Rich,

I've done this for about 5 years now, yup, 5 years on the same package of 
lettuce seeds.  All I do is put them in the ground.  Haven't any results as 
of yet this year, I just planted some seeds this Easter weekend.  I'll let 
you know.  The only suggestion I'd give you is maybe soak the seeds in some 
water for a day before planting.

I have sweet peas coming up, I planted 8 squares in two blocks, I put clear 
plastic over one block and left the other one to nature.  The seeds under the 
clear plastic came up first, all are uncovered and doing fine.  The ones 
under the plastic are a bit further along.

My wife was in a newly stocked garden area of a local department store this 
February and picked up some bulbs, I read the directions and they said to 
plant in the fall, well I put them in the refrigerator for 6 weeks and 
planted them Sunday too, my experiment for this year.
