i would look at topics about growing them in bags, also fero's grow very big, i hope you have lots of room in 5 or 6 years time

Looks like a good place to start. These seeds are all nice and big and should germinate easily. Hob's advice is pretty good. A couple methods suggested here - fairly standard procedure should be fine for these.
