Choosing a packet size
- The 75-seed packet suits home gardeners starting a cool-season bed or trying succession plantings in small spaces. It’s ideal for a family garden and a few raised beds.
- The 500-seed packet works well for larger home plots, community gardens, or small market growers planning multiple plantings. It provides enough seeds for staggered harvests across the season.
- The 1000-seed packet is a strong choice for market growers and school or community programs establishing multiple beds. It supports consistent production and uniform harvests.
- The 5000-seed packet is best for diversified farms, CSA programs, or landscapers installing expansive edible plantings. It offers economies of scale for continuous, high-volume harvests.
