I did not have good germination with the wet paper towel method.  I
guess the top of the fridge was not warm enough.  Before I got my
seedling heat mats, I used a method with great success suggested by a
member on this list.

Worked for me just fine. I have 4 plants going now. The paper towel with the seeds wrapped in it must be put in a plastic bag or wrapped in plastic to prevent drying out. Works every time for me. I just place them on the kitchen counter. First you soak them overnight
before putting them between paper towels and then in the plastic bag.
These are 4 year old seeds too that I keep in the freezer. I have loads of them left.
