i have just germinated a few seeds , the method i used was to get a top of a deoderant bottle clean it first, then get your seeds and put them in a folded piece of kitchen roll , add a small amount of water and cover the top with cling film, i then put them on top of a radiator for 2 days and hay presto all seeds have a tap root of about 4mm long !!! hope u have some luck with this method
