Okay so i germinated one seed and let the taproot get to a little over a half an inch before i planted it outside. The soil is very fertile from my garden and i mized it in with some vermiculum too. I planted the seed about a half an inch below the surface and it has been a week and i have nothing poking up through. Being a newbie, and impatient, i dug around a bit and there wasn't any sign of the taproot!! however, i found half of the seed shell sitting on the soil so what happened? We have had some heavy rain for a few days so could that have killed it? Thanks
