I can't recall if they were difficult or not. I just soaked them for 48 hours with warm water and hydrogen peroxide and planted them directly into the pot.
That reminds me I need to sow my morning glories.
Yesterday I found an old seedpacket of asparagus beans but I have no recollection of buying them. So they must be really old. I sowed them in the same pot as my blue ternatea.
