    Hello. Should I wait until I see some sprouts before planting or , if not, what is the best way to make sure they are all viable, please?

    Many thanks

    Assuming they are still nice and firm with no mould on them then just place them in a pot with a bit of damp compost, ideally in the greenhouse. You can wait for sprouting but it's not really necessary

        I start mine in a seed tray of compost, just placed in the surface with the concave end uppermost. I was about to do that this week sometime.
