Compare methods, share your results and post photos of your little sprouts.
I have used both methods;
For large seeds, I like the paper towel method.
Small seeds I use soil.

I am going to try the paper towel method for larger seeds.
Maybe at the end of April - don't want them too big by the end of May.
Anyone else doing this?
