Starting to get back into the game. It's been 6 years. I still have some good seeds but was curious as to what is the oldest seed anyone got to germinate?

Thanks,
Todd

Grew a 670 Daigle 03 last year. Popped after three days, but the seed was frozen as far as it was concerned it was Spring. Also grew five 95 Seca Long Gourds from 2000.

I just germinated an 845 Bobier 2000 a few weeks ago. It was kept in a paper coin envelope at room temperature, at least when I got it a few months ago.

I grew a 827Holland92 seed in 2008 (827 = worldrecord seed from Joel Holland). I did pollinate this 827 plant with the 898Knauss01. This year I grow this 827x898 cross,...we'll see.
In 2011 I germinated a 801.5Stelts97 seed. I'll pollinate it with the 1161Rodonis.
Good luck to all growers and a new "PB" - Peter
