I planted nasturtium seeds, without filing or soaking or anything else on 3/31/17 and just discovered them with the two first leaves on them. The zinnia is coming up also in the same pot, planted on the same day. I have decided that even though it might be a bird or something that might nick a seed to make it germinate, I am not doing anything to a seed before I plant it the first time.
If it doesn't germinate I will follow the package, but I figure mother nature knows best, lol. Besides, if I have to baby an herb or flower as much as I do veggies, I don't want it in my garden. I'm going to go the easy way out with herbs and flowers.
