I did a seed run, and was wondering the right way to prep them so that they can be planted. I have heard wait a couple of weeks to allow them to harden. Then plant them. Is that all that I need to do?

2 Weeks is fine, but keep drying the rest for a month then seal in an airtight container and then refrigerate. Germination rates in the month dried seeds should be better than your inital 2 week dried seeds.

Think about why the plant seeds out, and watch how easily they are to fall out.
They need only be covered up with dirt and kept moist. Take the thinking out and
let mother nature rule.
