Between a couple of wet paper towels, kept moist in a dark place for a few days. If you choose to use those small peat pots I’d plant several seeds in each as your germination rate will be much lower than it was in 2012.

You’ll probably get about 30% if they were dried and stored properly. I’m not a fan of the paper towel method because it stresses the plant when moved. IMHO I would plant in a seedling mix and keep it moist and warm. Heat mat and a dome are ideal but even in front of a heat vent or top of the fridge is great. Best of luck
