why are my seeds sprouting

what is the best way to germinate seeeds. ive had mine on a plate and in a damp paper towl in a dark place for a few days and nothing has happened yet

did you cover it with another plate?

Yea, you want to seal them up. Put another plate over the plate you have them on. or use a non-clear container.(what I always do)

i get 24 hour germs by placing a damp paper towel on a plate another over top then i put press n seal across it a set it in a closet for 24 hrs the other way is to letacup fill half way with rain water drop em in and cover it with press n seal or a bag rubber band it down put in a dark corner

im telling you that napkins and plate never fail....well sometimes

k thanks everyone ill try it
