[Katherine Pfohl <pfoh9770@yahoo.com>]

Greetings.  I have recieved some Bambara ground nuts here in the virgin 
islands.  I am wondering f anyone has planting tips.  I'm not familiar nor do 
I have enough seeds to experiment with.  Should they be soaked? Nicked? etc.  
Blessings and Thanks,
Katherine
