Just wondering if anyone has tried the "wet paper towel" method for germinating seeds? Soak a paper towel, and shake out excess water, but don't squeeze. Sprinkle out a few seeds, and fold it in half and again. Place in a zip lock bag, and put in the fridge. Check every few days, for sprouting. The seedlings can then be planted in potting soil. I have used this with herb and flower seeds, that require cool temps for germination (parsley), but not with veggies... Worked great for summer blooming perennial phlox, and others that can be difficult to start.
