well from one nova scotian to another i file with a finger nail file along the edge until it whiten's up then soak for 12 hrs in megagro (geberillions), peroxcide and fish/seaweed fertilizer. then i like to direct plant into the garden so that there is no root bunching or transplanting shock (find peat pot's hold me back). so if you can some how get your soil temperture in the garden to about 18 degrees celceous using underground heating cable, green house, black polymer ground covering and heating lamp you'll have a head start on most from your area. p.s. i would plant on may 1st there

Oz

I soak my seeds(any seeds)in a plastic soda bottle filled with water and some ferts.
i place it in the warm sun(grolight).
when the seeds no longer float i plant them.
the AGs i tried last spring were up in three days.

In the shade - PDX, OR

check the "SEED STARTING" message board

lots of good info there as well as Joe's advanced seed starting method under the "HOW TO" section.
