Unfortunately, doing this only once per year does not lend itself to learning by trial and error. Though, now that I think of it, I suppose there is nothing stopping me from purchasing some "throwaway" seeds and trying until I get it right.
You can even practice with store bought tomato seeds.
Starting from collecting fermenting and saving the seeds on to sprouting and growing the seeds.

I often wonder why more people dont do this.
Yet they wait till that one time of the year to practice the critical process.
