     do you have any clay in that soil and have you been   
   keeping them evenly moist?  how deep did you plant them?   
      
     if you had a hot dry spell and there's not enough clay   
   and organic material in the soil to keep them evenly   
   moist then they're not going to have a good time trying   
   to grow.  a layer of mulch over when it gets really hot   
   probably would also help.   
      
     did any come up since?  have you continued to water   
   the location where you planted the seeds?
