Germinating

I use a couple paper towels and a glass. Some people use a plate but I don't. Basically I get my paper towels moist with tap water and throw all my seeds in the towel and wrap them up and place them in the glass in a dark space. You want the towels good and moist but not too wet cause I have rotted seeds from over watering my glass. As long as there is less than a 1/2 ounce of water in the bottom of the glass then you should be ok. Some people freeze their seeds over night before they germinate but I also don't practice this and have very good results doing it my way. Usually after 3 days my seeds crack and are beginning to show a root. Once the majority of the seeds have roots then you are done with this step. Time to find something to grow them in.

Here is how I do it step by step. I used a blue shop towel just to show how I use the towel. I would normally use a regular white paper towel.
