As the "Pepper Garden" states, you can TEST seeds for viability (germination
amount) by placing the seed(s) in damp layers of paper towels, with no seeds
touching, enclosed in a clear plastic bag and kept in a warm and sunny
place. The seeds will germinate and you can count the good to the bad,
therefor coming to your ratio of good - to - bad seeds.

Ok, here's the question.

Is this a practical way to start seeds for transplanting ? It seems that the
idea would work without a hitch, you can see what's happening, the seeds
stay moist and warm by the enclosed area.

After the sprouting, you can carefully remove the seeds (tweezers maybe) and
put them in a peat pellet or something similar.

Doesn't this seem like a practical way to germinate? Anyone have suggestions
or comments?
