I have read through the internet, and GardenWeb and haven't come to a decision of how these are to be germinated. One site said chill 5-8 weeks, another said to gather the seeds from the pod May-Jun (which would give them the cold spell too). I just wasn't sure if this is necessary to start from seed. Should I chill them as one site stated, or would they be fine to direct sow now when we have temps around 70's.?

TIA
