I had a 2009 pack of Bloody Butcher seeds from Burpee. This was a retail package purchased at Menards. Expecting germination issues, I soaked half the seeds in a weak fertilizer solution overnight. Surprisingly, the dry seeds (not soaked) germinated better, and most had sprouted in 5-7 days. These were the oldest seeds I've ever attempted, but I wanted to compare BB to Fourth of July, and had these seeds available.
