Keep the seed in a paper envelope in the Salad compartment of the fridge (not the freezer). They are the fastest germinating seeds I have ever grown. Overnight from fridge on filter paper in Petri dishes. Amazing.
Yes, I would follow that advice Philippa - as you sent me some last autumn, which I sowed in October, and they germinated very quickly with no problems. I did overwinter the seedlings successfully but in hindsight I too would have sown them in the Spring.

Thnk you, Berghill, I will. Good to know they're enthusiastic germinators!
