I have seen several post on these and the troubles people have had planting them from seed. I bought a whole bunch from Home Depot last Saturday during their bogo free event. I took the seeds and scored them with sand paper and then put them in a plastic bag with a very wet paper towel. This I put in a shady area (on top of my microwave0 for 3 days. Several of the seeds had little shoots coming out of them. i then transplanted directly into a tub of coco coir ( I used old spring mix tubs) placed the lid on and put out in the sun during the day and in front of a heater at night. After 2 days I had to take the lid off because they were growing to tall. I took some pictures of them this morning after 5 full days of growth and will post this evening with 9 hours difference (before work and after work) and then follow up if I am able to transplant them this weekend. Anyway, I wanted to post because there were several people having trouble getting them to grow from seed. I have nearly 30 sprouts from roughly 60 seeds. Not too shabby considering many folks get 0 from 60, lol.
On a side note, my "salad" seeds wont stop sprouting and are starting to choke each other out. I hope they last long enough for me to thin them out and plant them in the garden.
