All seed packs were marked harvested 2005

Did they really say harvested?

In the US companies put the packed by date on a seed pack and most of the time unless they produce their own seed they haven't the faintest idea of when the seed was produced b'c the wholesale suppliers don't tell them that info.

i do know of one SSE lister who had problems with some of his 2005 seed that was fermented and germination was questionable for some of them but he didn't know that when he listed them last Fall.

Best thing to do is to always contact the person or company so they know there might be a problem.

Other than that there's no way for me to comment not knowing actual sources, and I see no need to post those publically.
