Well, I guess most of you have heard the phrase "shell shocked", I looked at the prices of seeds and I was "seed shocked". At Burpee I was looking for some new Zinnia seed (Sahara Sunburst) a packet of 25 seed for $6.95. That comes out to .28 per seed! Wow! That just sounds crazy to me. Maybe I am even cheaper than I thought. I looked a Swallowtail and the Sahara Sunburst only came in a 250 seed pkt. and it was $13.99, that comes to .06 per seed! Still over a nickel a seed. I toss out zinnia seed like bird food (saved from last years crop). I need to be more appreciative of the seed I grow each year. I think as I age I must be stuck back in a different time zone, and price zone.
