Soaked the seeds for a few minutes in hydrogen peroxide to soften the shells. Then into distilled water over night. Tomorrow they will go in the paper towels to get the tap root going. Then into pots to get started in time for a top, mainline, hardening off and transplant on May 10th.
I grew some monsters last year (FFT1, FFT2 and FFT3) but I didn't do a good job of the grow diary. This year I'm on top of it.
