I do paper towels, but I think that there isn’t a whole lot of difference between that and soaking. My seeds ARE soaking in paper towel, because I thoroughly soak it before I put seeds on/in it.
I like knowing that everything I put in soil is going to come up…without having to wait and find out by watching the seed tray.
I went straight to jiffy pucks with some Gem squash seeds while we were away for a few days. Also put cukes in the same tray. Most of the cukes have popped up, nothing from the Gems. Are they bad?..should I start more?..am I being impatient?.. LOL
I’ll be putting some in paper towel later today…and we’ll see what happens. They’re “fresh” seeds, meaning I just purchased them.
