   Spring seed starting gets me to do double somersaults. Triple if I’ve been drinking.

   Some seeds do take longer (10 days to 14 days is typical) to germinate, so I’d wait and not take any action yet. If after 2-2.5 weeks some have not sprouted, then they are probably not going to sprout (especially if others of the same variety have already done so). At that point, all you can do is to try a new batch of seeds. Germination rates can vary greatly depending on the quality and age of the seeds you have. If most of your seeds are germinating, it sounds like the problem of non-germination might be with the few seeds that did not germinate. If most seeds are not germinating, the problem might be with your process (too cold or warm, not enough moisture, light, etc.)
