Thanks, I see "Days to Germination: 7-14 days"
The previous site I looked at said 7 to 10 days.
If there's nothing in another two weeks, I'll give up.
Oh, so they ARE related (all nightshades):

Potatoes are nightshades. It's a huge class of plants.
My hands were sticky after touching the plant, and smelled good, kind of floral. I didn't notice any nicotine effect from that, though I've read it can happen. Today I learned a bit about planting them. I don't have any potting soil, but maybe they will do OK in the shit soil we have around here. Tobacco is said to be a very tough plant which can handle different soils.
I sprinkled seeds in each compartment, watered them a bit, and put some water in the container below as recommended. I then lightly covered that with a plastic bag, leaving some room for air because I read that mold can kill them otherwise.
They should germinate in 7 to 10 days. I plan to keep this thread updated with progress.
