Old seed can take longer or not germinate at all. You're right there. You may be lucky with old seed but it's often a waste of time with tomatoes.. The date of packing as printed is not there for fun. On the other hand, I've sown two varieties this year - Matina, which was bought fresh this year and Golden Sunrise which has been in the fridge for a year, or possibly two. Currently I have two seedlings of each.... Admittedly there *were* a couple more of the Matinas, but the (insert rude words of choice here) slugs got them... -- Carol "The glassblower's cat is bompstable" - Dorothy L.
