I have seeds!  The seed pod opened and has what sure does look like viable seeds to me.

Now what do I do?

p.s. no fair laughing at me, please

Here is a link to help you.   This is still new to me so maybe the experts can help you.       
I learned not to soak a nicked seed  in water before planting because the sprout will open brown/black rotting.    If you use a dome, allow some airflow to enter and as soon as they sprout remove the dome indefinitely.   
I try to be as sanitary as possible and sterilize everything I use (tools, razors, trays) with bleach and water before I begin and I use distilled water for the initial wetting.   Good luck.

I recently tried taking the entire seed coat off to germinate - i noticed root growth within 24 hours - the one i left with the little root nub covered, didn't start growing until i took the rest of the coat off a few days later...  I am only a couple weeks into this experiment, but so far so good!
