Adam's comment reminds me of how many people treat responsibility like a hot potato. Everyone's quick to pass the blame instead of just fixing the thing that went wrong. You see it everywhere, from work to family stuff. It's this weird need to be right that stops actual solutions. Sure, double-checking your stuff is key, but acting like the other person can never be part of the problem just makes everything harder. The real fix is both sides owning their piece and moving forward.

Honestly I just soaked mine in water overnight before planting. Nora's right that it's not rocket science, but that little step made a big difference for me. My sprout came up way faster than last time.
