This is my first time to try with the seeds. I did a little online searching and came up with this idea: place dry seeds in plastic bag, water them when you are ready to germinate them and plant them as they sprout. To speed up germination even if you plan to put it in a pot or the ground is to place the seed in water at least 24 hours first. If planting in the ground, remember they get about 3 feet wide, so give them lots of space. I had planned to send 10 seeds, but since the offer got duplicated, it's just 5 seeds each.
