Help! Can't get date 'pits' to sprout!...

[Patrick A Kirchner]

Could someone please advise me as to how I should go 
about sprouting date 'pits'?   The dates are very
fresh and I'd love to get some growing on my own, 
but time and again, the 'pits' never sprout...
	Any other info, as far as the prefered soil
chemistry would also be most appreciated!
 
Thanks in advance...

Patrick.
