Bean seeds sprout best in paper towels (compared to sprouting jar) -- keep paper towel moist!

The results are in:

- Kentucky Wonder Wax (brown beans):  100% sprouted as of today, in both the paper towel and the sprouting jar.  The difference is the paper towel ones were more advanced, so must have germinated a bit sooner than the jar ones (or just preferred the conditions of the paper towel).

- Great Northern (white beans):  80% of paper towel ones sprouted as of today; 0% of the jar ones have sprouted yet.  Interesting difference compared to the yellow beans.

- Tendergreen Improved (mottled brown beans):  100% (3 of 3) of paper towel ones sprouted as of today.  (There were none in jars)

One thing to remember is to check the moisture of the paper towel daily, especially the second day because it dried out very quickly.
