As said, these are hard coat seeds .. you'll get your best results if you break the seed coats on three sides of the seeds (the reason being that by breaking the coat they will start germinating before the coat has time to soften up and the cotyledons can become trapped inside the seed coat ... this is true of all hard coat seeds) .. I use nail clippers and take slivers off the edges - just enough to see white so go very slowly. Plant about a half inch deep. Keep starting soil on the dry side of moist and in the 70's if possible.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
