I have also used the paper towel and ziplock bag technique. I first soak the
seeds for 24 hours in water, then I put them in the bags and keep them at 80-85
degrees. The fastest seeds I had this year were the Sproule 968 and Cramer 652
which sprouted in 48 hours. The slowest was the Castellucci 742 which took a
full 7days. Wait a few more days and they should sprout.
