Well, I'll be darned - took its time, definitely wasn't <immediate>
germination, but one of the 40 seeds from the <harvest, dry, freeze a
few days, plant> germinated yesterday. They have been sitting on the
kitchen table in bright indirect light, room temperature about 75 to
78oF, humidity 50 to 80%, way above reported optimal germination
temperatures (approx 60oF).
I may break down one of these days and invest in one of those college
dormitory sized refrigerators just for germinating seeds. Not as good
temperature control as a growth chamber but several thousand dollars
cheaper.
