in some shorter bushes somewhere would provide better camoflage. obviously try to get the best direct light as possible wherever you decide. the seeds should still be good, the rate of germination of mine went down slowly after a couple of yrs. if they are little and its dry out use your judgment but every 3-4 days should be enough, less if you are getting natural rain. going to your spot to much can create a trail, i only get to go see mine about every two weeks.
