1. First re-hydrate seed in a damp towel for 12 hours.
2.  Combine equal parts peat moss, loam and some sand.  Put potting mixture in 3"-4" pots (biodegradable pots work well for starting seeds as the entire pot can be placed inside a bigger pot once the seedling sprouts without disturbing the plant).
3.  Water the potting medium and allow the water to fully absorb before planting the seed.
4.  Make 1/2" oval holes and place 2 seeds in each hole (next to each other but not touching or overlapping).
5.  Lightly cover the seeds with soil and water a little more.
6.  Place containers in a warm, sunny place (sunny south or west facing window if starting indoors).  Full-sun: 8+ hrs of full-sun/day. 
7.  Keep soil moist but NOT soggy to avoid rot.   Germination can take up to 2 months.
