Howdy,
Just planted some Four O'Clock seeds. The packet said to plant them 1/2 inch deep. I planted them more like 1 inch. Are they doomed? Should I replant?
Thank you O' Wise One...

It may take longer but if you have deep moisture without being soggy they may still come up. I usually just fluff up the soil and put the seeds on top. I keep four o'clocks for beetle control in a pot. They make tubers and drop seeds all the time so I have to rougue out the ones that escape.
Most seeds need light to geminate and I would rather go shallow than deep.
