ooops, forgot to answer all your questions, sorry! When I plant mine, which I just did some yesterday, lol, I nick the seed and soak over night in warm/hot water from the tap. The next day they will be all swollen up and I just plant them in damp potting mix and cover, the depth is about the size of the seed and I don't measure, I just poke a hole and shove the seed in and cover it up. Then I put a plastic sandwich back loosely over the top and put in a warm place. I usually set mine on a little shelf above my computer monitor because it is almost always on and puts out a lot of heat. I find 69 degrees to be about the average heat and they love it. In about 5 days I have seedlings. Once they get up a ways, I take the bag off. This is what they usually look like when I take off the bag.
As for my treatment of the vines once they are in the ground, full sun and plenty of water. About once a year I throw a handful of 16-16-16 on the ground and thats it. Very low maintenance.
There, think I got it all. LOL
