I know some seeds benifit from being soaked for 2-24 hours before sowing. Some seeds will also sprout sooner.
Do you guys know if this could apply to most seeds? I am working on a veggie garden and some seeds take forever to sprout. Have any of you guys soaked seeds before planting them?

It's so much fun planting and watching things grow. One of my hobbies i must admit..

First you have to ensure that where you plant them achieves the right amount of sun light for that particular " veg" plant, some love afternoon sun, some morning for instance... South and North facing.

Sure, anything that naturally sprouts as it is getting old, is great to place in a small dish with cotton wool and keep water soaked, then plant.

But seeds in general, work just fine straight into the dirt with water and cover over, keep watering for a week daily and it will do the same thing.

Have fun.
