I tried something I read in the local newspaper two years ago with my
carrots.  I put the seeds in a moist paper towel, folded it over, rolled it
up, put it in a ziplock sandwich bag, stored it on the top of my
refridgerator and checked them daily.  After a few days (don't remember
exactly how many) they sprouted.  I planted the sprouts and the carrots
were fine.  I did plant two or three per hole in case they didn't survive
the transplant.  I remember having to thin them quite a bit though.  I also
tried it with cucumbers, beans and squash to get a head start on the
growing season.  I didn't get started early enough this year to try it but
may try it for my fall carrots and peas.

Hope this helps,

Norm
