Default Germination after 2 months!

What is the longest that you have had for tomato seeds to germinate?

I sowed two Anna Russian seeds February 21st and kept waiting for them to emerge like the other varieties sown same day. Finally I gave up and sowed lettuce on the same peat pellets. Yesterday I noticed a tomato seedling next to the lettuce plant. It has taken two months for this to germinate. I have had earlier tomato seedlings to emerge from peat pellets, which I let dry up because the seeds did not start and reused them next year by moistening them. This is different since the pellet has been kept moist all the time.

I hope the seedling will grow fast, since it is a bit late for my short season.
