These seeds are super easy to germinate using the "baggie" method. They can also be very successfully started when sown ¼ in. deep in moist potting soil that has been mixed with a dash of ground cinnamon (a natural anti-fungal agent) to help prevent "damp off". I experience germination in soil within 3-5 days during times when the temperature is at least 75ºF.
Another method using ground cinnamon is to put one-eighth tsp. ground cinnamon into a small jar or empty prescription bottle, drop in the seeds to be sown, tighten a cap onto the container, and "Shake, shake, shake . . ." thus putting a light coating of cinnamon on each seed before sowing into moist seed-starting medium or potting soil. I've had very good germination rates, in less than a week, with this method as well.
