Dennis, I usually start at the beginning of February with little pots in
the west facing window each of them with a margarine tin for watering.
Use filtered water because our tap water is so hard. except for the PCN
seeds they should go in the fridge for a month and then alternate 1 day
in the fridge with 1 day out of the fridge until little green sprouts
show. The pots should be kept moist. I versicolor seeds need freezing
for a couple of weeks. I've got some wild collected I vers seeds which
will go out in the garden.
