Re: Easy way to pre-soak-sprout seeds?

I just pre-sprouted my first seeds last month and have been thrilled with
the results.  Here's what I did (keep in mind I only started broccoli and
parsley):

1.  Sterilized a plastic plate

2.  Tore 12 1" square pieces of paper toweling (I started 6 of each).

3.  Wrote P on 6 of the squares and B on the other 6.

4.  Wet the squares and arranged them on the plate.

5.  Placed one seed on each square and slipped the plate into a plastic bag.

The plate sat on my kitchen counter.  It was difficult to see when the
seeds had sprouted.  I let both kinds sit for a couple days after they had
sprouted because I couldn't tell they had.  Once they had sprouted I just
laid the paper towel square in a container filled with vermiculite and
covered it with more.  They're all growing well!
