Seeds will last for years if stored in a dark dry location at a stable temperature like a drawer.
If you have a heated propagator, start hot varieties in January or early February. March onwards if you do not have access to heated propagators but check the growth duration and base sowing on that.
Ideally, the temperature should be 25 to 28c. The seeds will germinate in lower temperatures but take longer.
Once the plants have two to three true sets of leaves pot them on to a larger pot of around 1 litre and then progressively onwards to their final pot size at around six-week durations.
