You are right, the word I meant was pre-sprout. There is a whole page in the
 book on
pre-sprouting seeds.

Here in Northern Alabama, USA it is (probably) too early to plant many seeds
 directly in
the cold ground. By pre-sprouting, them, I hope to get a jump on the growing
 season
(assuming I get very lucky frost-wise). My house brick wall will probably help
 me there,
 too. also, I'm making some fence wire/plastic covering to use in colder weather
 and
spring rains. Fun!
