Yes, you're right; it took about that long to remove the seed coat with a paring knife. I soaked them again overnight and planted them the next day. They sure didn't smell very good (!) and were kind of slimy. I'm hoping the slime part was just from being in the water so long.
I had soaked them for several days prior to removing the seed coat, which I think really helped soften it up.
As for the smell...well, I'm just hoping that's normal.
Anyway, thanks again for your help!
I'll see how they do. :)
