I only have luck germinating in a seeds final home. about 4 out 5 success rate, but i have never successfully sprouted using any extra method. so if you have the room just plant them all in what ever container you plan on growing them in all through out there cycle. less stress and mess imo

i agree with kkk plant them straight into the soil or medium. bout 1cm under water in and let nature take its course. i believe germinating then planting is a waste of time just plant 2 or three per pot keep the healthiest and chop the runts

I dont think germinating is a waste of time at all. If you germinate you know for sure if they are gonna grow. Then when they pop you just give them all their own pots. That way you dont have to chop runts. Those runts could be good plants in their own pot. I use the paper towel in a bag method. Some may pop sonner than others too so leave the ones that didnt pop in the bag and keep the towel moist.

I agree bigflint, to just put a seed in the ground is kinda absurd to me....I use the paper towel method myself

hellla obsurd .... the best and easiest way to germ seeds ... imo ... get a small saucer or big plate ... get some paper towel or a smaller rag .... with a smaller saucer put half the rag on the plate put some seeds in then cover over with the rest of the rag .... turn your water on low and get the rag/plate wet ... not to wet ... dripping wet is fine but you dont want a puddle ... put the plate somewhere dark or light and come back in 2 days

I use Jiffy tablets to germinate my seeds.

You can buy little windowsill greenhouses and add water to the tablets. They are condensed peet moss and retain moisture really well. The tops keep the moisture in and temperature up for optimum germination.

Plus all you do after they sprout is plant them in soil. I find that using the paper towel method makes it easy to damage the seedlings because they have a tendancy of attaching themselves to each other as well as the towel itself.

Jiffy Pots are dirt cheap, about $2.50 for a 12 with the windowsill greenhouse.
