Anyone know? :)

Sorry, not from here. Did you try planting them directly in flats?

I never pre-germinate. I've never had an issue just planting them in starter paks and normal seed starter mix, unless the seed was bad itself. Is this something rosemary seed normally requires?

I don't know what the 'slime' is called, but it's normal. Basil (and probably other) seeds react this way when wet also.
