i use jiffy plugs, i plant 5 at a time, usually within 48 hrs i have sprouts. When they do sprout they come through quickly and seem to me, to be more healthy than seeds germed in paper towels. And as i said previously no risk of damage to taproot.

Do you use a propogator? If not that may be the problem. The seeds need warmth and humidity to germ. Try and resist poking about the soil, have patience! Good things come to those who wait.

Next time you buy seeds, get yourself some jiffy plugs, plant your seeds into the plugs, the holes are already there to place your seeds into. Stick the plugs in a cheap propogator, then place them somewhere warm and dark. 2 days later you will have some sprouts to nurture and care for. I use a cheap unheated propogator, i have so far not had a seed fail using this method.
