yer still touchin yer beans lolThis is what I do ... 4 of 5 Red Cherry Berry have split in less than 24 hours
As for roots growing into the paper towel, if that happens I just tear the paper towel around the root fibers and plant it, doesn't hurt in the least
oh and if you forget them they will rot or drown being covered like that
its still a wet dry cycle seeds follow
the way I describe ..you forget and they grow....no worries..
