Hi
Mine germinated in a week in the heated propagator.

There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory, the other two I forget.

mine were in the back bed room - no sign of them in the photos after a week but certainly there by 2 weeks!

Might be too dry and cold, also dark, they should come up readily on about 20C in a sunny window sill. Try that. 8)

If you planted them a bit too deep and on their side rather than edgeways and in a coolish spot then they can somtimes have a struggle breaking through before they rot off.

I find just sowing edgeways only just under the surface at about 20 degrees they can be up in 5-6 days. :D
