Now, watering. This is where most people fail spectacularly. You cannot use a watering can like you’re hosing down a car. The seeds are tiny and floating is their kryptonite. Use a spray bottle. Mist them like you’re applying expensive perfume before a first date—light, even, and with a hint of desperation.
Keep the soil consistently moist, not soggy. Imagine a perfectly wrung-out sponge. If you see puddles, you’ve ruined everything. The seeds will drown, and your salad dreams will join the Titanic.
