BlackOut120,

try this. It has worked on every type of seed I have ever tried to germinate and that includes 5 year old bag seed.

drop your seeds in a small cup of tapwater. They will float. Leave for 24 hours (this wakes the seeds up). after 24 hours, a few may sink or they may still be floating. It doesn't matter either way.

get 3 papertowels or napkins. lay on a plate. wet the papertowels thoroughly with the water the seeds were soaking in. You do not want the papertowels dripping wet. just moist.

drop the seeds on one side of the wet papertowel, now fold the other side over on top of the seed. cover with another plate and store in the kitchen cabinet (somewhere warm and dark). Check them in 24 hours. You should see a sprout or 2. If not, check them again the next day. Most will germinate in 1-3 days. If you have a few that haven't germinated within a week, they probably aren't going too.

Regards,
JT
