I think my Purple Pygmy seeds were from 2007, and there were only 5 or 6 seeds left in the pack, so even getting one or two sprouts is pretty good.
I'll check them again after the sun rises and I can actually see. It's those tomatoes I want to pop. Even my tomato seeds were not fresh- I didn't buy any new 'mater seeds this year. They were leftover from years past.
