It probably doesn't matter a whole lot but it's always seemed to me that
you should shove the seeds into the ground leading by the end that the
root comes out of. If you don't know which end that is, put a few seeds
between wet paper towels and between a couple of saucers and in a few
days you will find out!

I really hate it when my crops grow upside down.
