My mint seeds are not germinating. They should have sprouted in late April. Should I give up and plant some new seeds ?

When I did my seeds I was advised to put a cover over the top to increase humidity until they were an inch-2” tall. I don’t know e ouch to say that it’ll help now, but perhaps try it if you haven’t been (I used ziplock baggies) and give it a bit longer. Also bc of the baggies I found I didn’t have to add water to them every day.

I put a ziplock bag over the pot. It works every time
