So....I wonder what would happen if I dug out some of the many, many seeds
that aren't going to germinate and rolled them in a paper towel and left
them in the fridge for a couple of months and then replanted them? Wonder
if it would be possible (with air conditioning) to get some up big enough to
plant before fall in a more permanent location? Waaaay too many aren't
going to sprout to try them all, but maybe on some of those with more than
one pod of the same cross. Could they be tricked into germinating?

Try and remember! :) Mental exercise is healthy too, I hear! To soak or
not to soak, that is the question.
