Planting: Seed Savers says to sow seeds indoors just beneath surface of soil. Success is greatly improved if seeds are placed with soil into a plastic bag and refrigerated for 4-6 weeks. Once removed from the cooler, place in an area that is between 55-65F. Plant out after danger of frost has passed in late spring. Prefers average well drained soil. Here is my plan: January 15, sow in pots and place outside of the sun. Cover with a bit of snow if available, to keep soil from drying out. March 1, bring indoors. May 1 put outside to harden off, then transplant soon after.
