I can say that with experience, germination is very easy in pots in Berkeley, CA. I had a high rate of germination with fresh seeds, but of course, none of the seedlings came back. I sent the same batch of seeds to the BX, and I suspect that other members have the same experience. First year seedlings have only one, cylindrical leaf.
