Anyone start these from seed? The only ones I've gotten to germinate are just a stalk with the seed coat still on the top, about 1 1/2 in tall. Any hints of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

They will grow, I treat mine like tomatos and give them a little heat on the bottom.

I started these last year from seed. I used a south window, and put a black garbage bag on the sill (under the seed pots) to attract more heat for them. They did grow, and I was able to make a few pies last summer with them!
