Cherokee Purple 2002, seeds sent to me from Craig
KBX 2009 At least ten varieties earlier than 2012 did not germinate and are no longer in inventory...not worth the attempt to revive.

My oldest this year were Turkey Chomp from 2007, 11/15 seeds, first 3 up in 8 days. Did not expect so many to be viable, stored at room temperature in our basement.
Only no show was from a 2015 Reinhard's Green Heart. Not a one. 0/8
