Moisten a paper towel or paper coffee filter but don't leave it dripping wet. Space out your seeds a little bit on the surface and then fold it up and put it in a baggie. Cheap Baggie brand will do. Do leave the baggie open at the top to allow a little air flow. Place the baggie in a warm place (not over 75 degrees or so) but not in the sun. If your seed needs to be stratified (needing a cold spell), you can put it in the refrigerator for a few weeks (or however long the seed needs). Check on the baggie every couple of days to make sure it's not too dry and to check on the status of germination. You can plant in soil once you see some germination. You may not see any germination on seeds that are being stratified until they come out of the refrigerator and are planted in soil. It's just that the stratified seeds need a cold spell to break dormancy.
