i gave my soil a good soaking and let it drain for a day or so before I sowed any seeds so that i wouldnt have to water and disturb anything for a few days.

i sowed seeds on top of the soil. I did not cover them. (again, it was that's how Mother Nature sows her seeds thing)

another hint I read last year about 'lessons learned' ( i tried to scroll back to last year to find it because it was the most concise list of tips that ive seen so far, but, didnt find it. yet)
was that she made a label of the plant and inserted it in a cheap sandwich ziplock bag. because using markers on the outside faded, etc., etc., so I made a double sided one. rolled it up and inserted it against the wall of the jug between it and the dirt so that I could see it thru the jug and so that if it faded, i could still see the one on the inside. I only had one mess up.....the bag wasnt sealed tightly. but it worked. might have been over kill .

I didnt transplant anything to pots/cups unless i was sharing it with friends. mine went from the jugs to the ground.

here's my labels in 2 ltr bottles. (i like them because you could watch them grow)
