Some don't even soak them at all and just put them in the ground (Banana Joe).  I usually soak any seeds I get for a day or two before I sow them, perhaps out of habit, but it does help dissolve any germination inhibitors that might still be on the seed. 

Please feel free to post your questions in the General Discussion Forums or, in this case, the Cold Hardy forums where your topics will typically receive more attention. 

Good luck and welcome to PalmTalk!
