I germ rough compared to what ive read others do but ive had 100% sucsess from all herbies seeds, i use 2 x plys of toilet paper or 1 x ply handytowel paper on a plate with water soaked through, i place seeds then layer another handy towel paper over top and wet. leave in dark warm place for a day or 2, checking only to make sure its wet still, i dont check seeds till 48 hours normally then if sprouted i place in seed raising mix about 5 mm from top of soil, with its little root sprout facing down.
i can germ one and take pics if you want?
