Once you see a white root sprouting through the paper towel, it is time to transplant the seeds into soil. It’s recommended to place the sprouted seeds in small pots with a little potting mix so they can grow into seedlings. The seeds can then be planted into the garden and grown into full-fledged vegetables! Make sure to water the seedlings daily and keep them warm!
