Point of curoisity. Has anyone tried starting seeds this way Make a small slit in seed starting medium, Plant seed straight up with the radicale side (where the root starts) down. Planted just deep enough to cover the top of the seed The reason I tried this, I was getting some seeds where the roots went up and the tops went down (Hmm.recall something else in life like that) My results were a day or 2 faster emergence, but I had more seedlings that did not loose the seed coat. byron
