I have been *wondering* what this is for a long time. I parked next
to one at the library, scored some seeds, and while I was in there,
looked it up.

Any hints about propagation, now that I have the seeds?

Positively simple to germinate. Take a 4 or 6 inch pot, fill with a nice mix
which drains well and put the seeds on moist mix. Slightly cover the seeds with
about 1/4 inch of more mix. Water well and put into a plastic baggie or
ziplock. I grew literally dozens last year. I did them in a greenhouse, but a
good sunny south facing window will work. They have one large root, like a tap
root and they are very easy to separate and transplant. Mine are just now up to
a size where they can be planted in the ground. Just today I got more seeds
from my post office. They neglect the grounds, but that leaves me good
opportunity to snag some pods!
