Birder. Hi. I actually wet the seed starting mix. So it is wet when I put the stems in. Then I water from the bottom. But dry seed mix - no!

Lilimiss, don't worry. Nasturtiums develop so quickly that it is OK to wait till the soil warms and direct seed them. Honestly, I have never heard of anyone transplanting them. And it is much to cold to put them outside. What I did do, however, was put the climbing ones in a pot for a friend to put in his office window.

It is true that some Select Seed Seeds are very happy to reproduce! I ended up with a garden loaded nicotiana and verbena bonariensis. Which I just loved. Verbena plants have a small presence and will not disturb other plants. I used them as an impromptu fence (neighbors cutting through the yard). And they had fans!
