The cost in working with the seeds is definitely high. My problem is when
you spend a large sum (say $150) for the plant and then next year its all
over for ($20) it is a real shocker. Also when you have a large area to
work with it's harder on the budget to pay $150 for one plant when you can
get several of the older releases for 30 to 40.
I know that's the hazards of doing business. When I mention that I'm
looking for something not too expense I'm not complaining just trying to be
practical.
enough rambling for now,
Yours,
Kate
