![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | When I mess up and that happines I plant them...I rarely get any show up, but hey some do so it cant hurt (IMHO). I wanna try paper towels placed in a strainer and my seeds on top and then a layer right on the top of the strainer, then put the strainer under a faucet and turn on the water to where it is just a little warm so it drips on the papertowels and see what happines. I forget where I noticed that method, but it sounds good to me.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | by laying it in a saucer two layers thick, [double layer is easier to handle and does not tear] spread some seeds, putting another double layer of paper towel, moistening by pouring a little bit of water in. just a bit, enough to saturate paper towel; not a lake lol. and covering with a peice of glass, so whole saucer is covered. 3-5 days later seeds are popped and ready to go. good luck nigel

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | i put them in a cup (wet towels and seeds) then crumple up a small plastic bag and put on top the towels. keeps the towels wet and yet have bit air. though usually now i just put them straight in soil , small 1-2 inch pots. you can also take those and put in a plastic bag to keep wet. the air inside is sufficient till the seedlings appear. less chance of a shock or them stalling. | ||
