Connie, if I recall I started my Snapdragon seeds around Dec of last year. What I did was take one of the distilled water jugs I had and cut it just below the handle only leave the area right under the handle as sort of a hinge. I poked some drainage holes in the bottom of the jug. Next I filled the bottom part of the jug with seed starting mix, sprinkled the seeds over it, covered them very lightly with more of the mix and used a spray bottle to dampen the whole area. Next I folded the top part of the jug over the bottom part and used duck tape to seal it. I left the round top off the jug and when necessary I'd spritz some water down on them. After the seeds germinated I took off the duck tape. In the photo the jug is in the bottom left and if you look up that row you'll see a white cup. As an experiment I put a few seeds in there in Dec and the germinated just took a bit longer.
