Dear friend, Please let us know a little more as to where you have placed it. It needs a bit of sunshine, some good lose soil and moisture. It should not take 2 weeks to germinate. I note that you purchased the seeds in 2009. Normally, the shelf life is 6 months. If I had to sow the seeds, I would prepare a bed with lose topsoil, make it moist and cover the seeds with a layer of dry leaves. Just keep it moist and it should sprout in a few days. If you had planted in january, by April it should be quite big. Again, possibly, it is not getting enough sunlight. Regards. Yazdy.
