My Brandy Wine Pink has germinated in only three days in my layered mix. There is activity on the Mortgage Lifter as well, just hasn't broke through the DE yet.

Updating this:

The Mortgage Lifter has broken the surface already.

I seeded BWP and ML on 8/2/17, making it only three days for germination.

Update:

Bush Beefsteak and Abe Lincoln have both broken the surface.

These were also planted on 8/2/17, making it 6 days for germination.
