Growing Cilantro - Method #2

About three days after I potted the cilantro seeds, I decided to put a few seeds into a damp paper towel.  I actually forgot about them until yesterday. 

I think crushing them first is the key to successful germination.

With the encouragement of my sister Didi, I'm trying the colander method of growing . . . using a colander inside a bowl of water.  The gal in the instructional YouTube video says that as long as you change the water daily, you don't need to provide nutrients.

In the meantime this is how the potted seedlings are doing.
