How Do I Start Cotton Seeds?

[citychickinthecountry]

I have numerous cotton seeds that I harvested from a cotton plant. Does anyone know how I should start them (so they sprout)?

I tried putting a few in moist soil about an inch down into the soil and I have kept the soil moist. I have the pot I put these seeds into inside my greenhouse to protect it from the cold.

Is this correct? Or should I sprout some in a moist paper towel? :/

this is what i would do which is what i do with all my seeds i get

1. i would get a see through jar like a pickle jar
2. i would drop the seeds in the jar
3. i would get some moist paper towels and pack it down real tight against the seeds
4. wait 3-4 days then look at the bottom up the jar and see if they have sprout.
5.when they sprout put them in a cup of soil or in the ground if its warm enough and watch them grow.
