My moringas are sprouting!

I gathered some seeds a few weeks back then after dithering for a while, I put them to sprout.
I saw this method on Pinterest: I sandwiched the seeds between two layers of paper towels. Those went into a zip bag in a styrofoam tray. I sprayed some water in there and left the end open.
I did a second one where I put them into vermiculite in an old egg crate too, just to try.
It's been about a week (although I forgot to mark the start date), and I've got sprouts!
Exciting to me, at least.
Here's the layer method:

Four out of six are showing significant growth!
And I thought the egg crate was a dud but check it out!:

Two out of 6 have little roots coming out.
Paper towel sandwich wins hand down, though.
I would have had pics of potted baby moringas to share but I got waylaid by my youngest kids.
Thanks for sharing my plant- nerdiness with me, Steemians.
