Did I make a mistake?

13 years ago

When WSing seeds such as bachelor buttons and cosmos, I just patted seeds into the potting soil. They are still just lying on top. Did I need to cover these with a little soil? Also, I have my containers in laundry baskets and there is standing water in them right now which isn't looking too good. Do I need to dump the water? TIA.

The seeds should be fine. Dump that water.
