Paul, To date my experience is that only fresh seed, sown promptly,
results in germination. One stored it was useless. Best results has
been with fresh seed sown in buried flats out of doors and covered with
water permeable material (slipping the market packs in large panty hose
before burying to top of pack allowed air and water circulation without
allowing contamination by dispersed seeds). Medium was kept damp
bordering on wet. Germination was reduced inside after c/m strat. due
to uneven watering.
