Their drowned or duff seeds.use the paper towel method and you cant go wrong with proper seeds.they should germinate in 4 days max.

My first lot (bagseed from 4 years ago) didn't germinate at all in 2 weeks - then the 2nd lot (bought a couple days before germination) were VERY eager with the paper towel and split the casing in 2-3 days with inch-long roots!

What I did - wet towel/seeds/wet towel in a sandwich bag sealed in the airing cupboard...no probs! Could be you just got duff seeds.

I reckon you should keep them till you get to a week then if nothing sprouts drain them off, let them dry for a few days then try my method...if that doesn't work for a week then chuck 'em coz they're duff

Hope this helps :blsmoke:

I take 2 pie plates.... put 1 paper towel and place seeds on towel..cover with 1 towel....soak..and cover with 2nd pie plate..I keep it soaked, not wet, soaked..
2-10 days later, pop.... out of 25+ this year ALL popped.. no floating in water, no sanding, no dark, no fridge,no hot, no cold...etc..just water and dark.... I wait till 1/4 - 3/4 " tap roots show and plant 1/2" deep..I just lay it on its side..it knows where it's going....

Luck
