thought I'd post that info here. I define the start date as the day I
put them in a glass to soak. My technique is to soak in water
overnight, then put them on a wet paper towel placed between two
plates. I add water to the towels as needed to keep them wet (once or
twice a day).


This method is used to display the progress of growing seedlings for
eductaional purposes but I don't understand why you would you do this to
grow the plants. What is wrong with starting them in trays of seedling
mix and pricking them out when big enough?

It maximizes yield because you only put growing seeds into the pots, and
you don't have to put more then one in a pot because you know that that
the plant is alive.
