Place another moist paper towel over the seeds. Spray the towel gently with water to keep everything moist. Place the upturned clear plastic bin onto the lid, creating a mini greenhouse The above picture is on ourRe-growing Celerypost, but our seed greenhouse is constructed in the same way...
I tried a little different variation for germinating the seeds, instead of the coffee filter, I used a paper towel on a baking tray and plastic wrap over the top. I was able to get a few plants out of the seeds, that was good because I was afraid none would come up. It was ...

It doesn’t necessarily mean the seeds are non-viable; in fact if you’ve stored them in a cool, dry area, they might be just fine. To test the waters, place about 10 seeds on a moist paper towel and put the it in a clear plastic sealable bag. After about 10 days, check on ...
A germination test can be performed easily with the wet paper towel/baggie method. Just place a few seeds in a damp paper towel or coffee filter & seal them in a plastic baggie. Your seeds should germinate within 10 days or less. If you see no signs of growth – it’s time to go ...
Pre-sprouting seeds: Lay the seeds on a damp paper towel, roll up the towel, and place it in a plastic bag; seal the bag and keep it in a warm place until seeds germinate; then place seedlings in individual pots. Seed-starting soil temperature: 80-90°F (27-32°C) Indoor seed sta...
Make sure the seeds are properly submerged – you can just poke them under, or alternatively wrap them in paper towel first and then pop them into the water. The paper towel soaks up the water, which then weighs the seeds down. Sow your seeds immediately after soaking, don’t d...
With the actual miniature greenhouse all set, I turned my attention to the future seedlings! I gathered up some top soil, seeds, jiffy pots, and a spoon to act as a small trowel. Important to not, I’d also checked and doublechecked the size of the floppy disk holder and cut down th...
of ours has already seen just since it’s last makeover. We also found pennies, 22-bullets, seeds, toys and newspaper clippings in the walls from whomever did the last renovation so we’re going to be sure to at least add some coins from 2013 in all the walls we’ve worked on too...
