From what I've read from your post you didn't germinate the seeds if I understand correctly, and you just put them in soil?

First rule to growing or method is to germinate, search it.

You can lay towelettes criss crossing on top of each other and put the seeds in, then spray the towels until damp. Next lay the towelettes in a dry, dark area. In a day or so the seed should crack open showing the seedling. :hippy:
