an inch is way too deep. they might just take longer or not, you'll have to wait and see. it's also a good idea to germ them before putting them in the soil. then when you put them in the pot only cover them with a little soil and place them so the tap root is up. just make sure they don't dry out for the 1st few days. i just use a mister for the 1st 2-3 days to make sure the soil around the seed doesn't dry out.
