Day 1

Day 1 - Placing the seeds inside a moist cotton ball. 

I started by taking normal cotton balls you get at a pharmacy store and add a little bit of water. Then I wrung or squeezed the rest of the water out of the cotton ball. The cotton threads a pulled slightly to create a pocket for the seed. Then close it gently and let it sit near the window for temperatures ~ 75*F.
