Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Hi!
They're the easiest to germinate. They require no special lighting, no special conditions and you get quick results!

Take a big enough container, top it with some kind of screening material (a piece of screen or a muslin that you fix tightly will do)

Wash seeds, remove the broken ones, they won't germinate anyway. Spread seeds tightly together on screen (on top of container) Keep seeds wet by spraying them often with water and watch them grow!
It's a fun project for kids and adults alike! And delicious.
You can even use the water that collected in your container to water your plants, it's full of minerals and vitamins!
