It's best to germinate them using the paper towel method and planting them when you have a tap root that is about 3/4" long. You plant them with the tap root down to the depth about equal to the first joint of your index finger. Then gently cover it with the top soil and sprits with water to moist the dirt.

Happy growing

Zandor, this may be the first time I really disagree with you, unless your 3/4" taproot is a typo ... as fragile as the taproot is, I strongly urge no more than 1/8" - 1/4" maximum exposed ... if that is your method, I suggest you have been very lucky so far ... whatever works for ya, but newbies would be best to get them in the soil sooner, I think ... :smokin:
