I use a wet paper towel and a zip top bag. Fold the towel over and over until you have a rectangle about 2 by 3 inches. Wet it down so it is wet, but not totally soggy, open up the last fold, place seed in, and fold closed again. Put the towel in the bag and close it up, getting all the air out you can. Leave the bag in a dark, room temp area (I use a dresser drawer) and within a few days you will see your tap root shoot out. Once you have a tap root like 1/2 inch long, gently put it in your growing medium. I like to use jiffy starting mix, poke a hole with a chopstick about an inch deep, put in seed, and gently fill it in.
