I had to re-sow some of them, around 4/8/18. More ZPT - these seeds were from 2013 and had 0/4 seeds germinated, so I re-sowed 2 seeds x 6 wells and got at least 6-8 or so up. Also re-sowed several F4s, and one or two other heirlooms. By 4/26/18, almost everything has at least some germinated - at mostly pretty good rates - and all have been transplanted. The only failed germination was Lucky Cross. Oddly this was a gift from Tomatoville this year, so they should be "fresh" seeds. However I didn't plan on this variety anyway so no big deal.
Random notes: I sprayed Daconil on the soil tops after sowing. By 4/25, just a couple of the last few seedlings that I had not transplanted yet had beginnings of damping-off, which is not bad out of about 70 or so seedlings. However, I sprayed those guys with Daconil, gave 'em more soil, and the next day seemed more stable. I guess if the infection is controlled and they can develop new roots above the old infection point they might make it.
