Default starting seedlings

I am getting anxious to start seedlings.
I've heard of trying to pre-germinate before planting in starter
trays, can someone recommend a method?


I put a few seeds wrapped in a damp paper towel, placed in a small
plastic bag (a Baggie is good) and leave on my TV cable box for three
days. I do this with tomatoes and peppers. When you open the bag
you'll see the little seeds sprouting. If this hasn't happened, you
can put them back on the box for another day or so or you can just
plant the swollen little seeds. Good luck!
