As an example, tomato packs usually have 30 seeds. That is 17¢ a plant if I get 100% germination and 34¢ a plant if I only get 50% germination. When I can average 10 pounds per plant in a decent year I consider it a great bargain. 20 plants (not 100% germination) times 10 pounds = 200 pounds of tomatoes. $5 per package / 200 pounds = $.025 per pound. Sometimes the cheapest seeds are not a great bargain. Or you can start getting seeds for open pollinated plants and save your own. You only have to buy them once. -- USA North Carolina Foothills USDA Zone 7a |

Don't buy seeds from Walmart, they are junk. Out of a 25' row of peas
4 plants germinated. The amarillis bulb I got didn't ever bloom, just had leaves. Nan in DE |
