Since my Cilantro did not come up I am trying the PT method. One bag is seeds in the PT and the other are seeds on top.

My last attempt at cilantro failed, too. I have some new seeds that I need to start. I really prefer starting seeds from pods. The paper towel method works, but not that much better, for me.

Last year all my attempts were failures. I used to have great successes so hoping this year I do better

Both packets have roots happening so today I think I will carefully plat them and try to get them going.
