HELP with seeds

[Unispanman]

Hi, in australia it's impossible to order seeds in so i have been collecting them over the past few months and saving them.

7 days ago i started to germinate my first seeds, i placed them inbetween two paper towels and kept them towls moist at all time and i kept them in the dark.

A week later and nothing has happened, i placed 10 seeds in the towel and none of them have shown any signs that they are going to crack open etc.

Can anyone give me some insight on this?

Sometimes the seed cover doesn't allow the water to soak-in properly. Try 'scuffing' the seeds suture with sandpaper. (the 'fold' along the seed, from top to bottom)
180 to 220 grit sandpaper is fine, and don't sand the seeds all the way to the embryo. A little scuff goes a long way. :jointsmile:
