If there are little white things poking out it means they are starting to grow, so putting them in soil gives them a place to grow. so far it sounds like you're doing everything right. last summer I didn't germinate first and just planted a bunch of seeds in a pot on my balcony and it worked fine.

Ok dude I'll help...
The white thing poking out is your root tip. It becomes the tap root which is where everything in the rooting system eventually comes from. If that "white thing" is pointing up when you buried them you put them in upside down. Sometimes it still works out ok if you put them in upside down, but its much easier for the plant to come through if the white root is pointed down. Then the seed just has to push up through the soil (dont take the seed shell off the leaves let it happen naturally, theres lots of nutrients that the baby plant needs to get started) and soon after it will open and expose four leaves, two that are oval shaped and two that are longer, jagged, and pointed.
Good luck!

Go to the store and look for Jiffy Pellets not the cups the pellets. There cheap, their flat like a small hockey puck but when you soak them in water they puff up to like an inch and a half tall and an inch in diameter. Germinate the seeds like you have been in paper towel and just put them in the top where the dirt in the top of the Jiffy pot so it barely covers the seed (white root tip down). I use the tip of a pencil to poke a hole for the seed to fit into.
It'll be a few days, the root tip being like an inch long is fine, thats what its supposed to do. It needs to before it will push the seed with the leaves in it to the top. Once the seed comes through and you have 4 leaves cut the netting off ht eoutside of the pot carefully and transplant to like a 5" diameter plastic potter...
Good Luck!
