Seed Sources

TYBL - The year before last (not last year , but before) , I happened on a wondrous deal  , seeds on sale for 3-5 ¢ a piece . Hot Dog !! Then when I had finished picking out hundreds of packets and watching my poor cashiers eyes water and weary from ringing up each one (she didnt know how to do it otherwise) , I was pleased to see they were ringing up @ 3 for 1¢


So any of those seeds  cost less than 1¢ a seed .
This is not the first time I have seen these sales , I have seen them @ CVS , 
Walgreens , Walmart , & Big Lots in the late fall.
The germination rates may be lower than fresh seed its better than no seed. By my usage I got a 95% germination rate last year , I have no Idea what to expect this year.


ABC - I got the Heirloom Master Gardeners Pack from Abceeds.com , @ 99$ W/63 Varieties that would place each packet @ 1.57 a packet , I will represent each seed by its packet amount (or estimated amount) as it is questioned.

RH - I bought a number of Nasturtiums  from Schumways because they are teh only supplier that has a large variety for an affordable price. Those were 1.49 a packet , I will price down their seeds as need be by estimated seeds per gram.

RHFree - I got a half dozen packets of seed for free from Schumways with my order

Food - I got seed from food sources , prices were normally under a dollar per food item with multiple seed. I will count these as free.

Saved - Saved from some source , wild or domestic , these will count as free

Common - Seed From The Store bought @ varying prices , will be noted if remebered , or otherwise approximated.
