oldest seed to germinate this years is......
 

bulgarian #7


seeds are from 2009. no special treatment. it took about three weeks for two small
seedlings to wake up. they have some catching up to do with the others, but should
be ok.

Cherokee Purple 2002, seeds sent to me from Craig
KBX 2009

At least ten varieties earlier than 2012 did not germinate and are no longer in inventory...not worth the attempt to revive.

Prue 2012 from Heirloomtomaguy took about a week longer than the others :).

Not as old as the ones already listed -



Madame Jardel's Black 2016 - all germinated in 5/6 days.

My oldest this year were Turkey Chomp from 2007, 11/15 seeds, first 3 up in 8 days. Did not expect so many to be viable, stored at room temperature in our basement.

Only no show was from a 2015 Reinhard's Green Heart. Not a one. 0/8
