Mine have taken about 12-14 days indoors so I wouldn't be at all surprised if yours take up to 3 weeks outside given the low temperatures overnight.

You could try starting some more off now, perhaps in pots, but I'd be a bit more patient with those you're waiting for too.

The other option is that they did germinate, but got eaten by slugs / snails as soon as they got above the ground  :(
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

You could try using a finger to gently move aside some of the soil covering them and with any luck you'll find a curved, pale shoot about to reach the surface, in which case all is well.

If not you could delve down a bit further and try to find a few of the seeds; they could have started to rot in which case I would also suggest sowing some more indoors (always more reliable than outside where, as Yorkie says, they are vulnerable to slugs amongst other things.)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
