Are you a fan of the paper towel seed starting method? Works great for morning glories! And it's handy if you're not certain if the seeds are viable.

For anyone not familiar, you take a damp piece of paper towel or coffee filter and spread the seeds on it. Fold it up, put it in a zip lock bag and set in a warm place. Check daily because many seeds sprout quickly. Then when they've sprouted, carefully remove the sprouts and put them in pots. Sometimes the seeds will have grown into the towel; no problem, just cut or tear off the piece of towel with the seed on it and plant the whole thing.
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.
