After 48 hours on the wet paper towel, the sees had germinated and developed a white tap-root. The seeds have been planted with the tap-root pointing down in small pots. I plant them very shallow, so the shell of the seedling still shows a little out of the ground. This way the seedlings come up IMMEDIATELY and with 24 hours you have tiny plant. Sometime the shell of the seed is still on top of the plant, if it does not afll off within a few days, I carefully pull it off the plant.
