Choosing a packet size
- The 50-gram packet is ideal for home gardeners or small trellises who want steady fresh harvests and a manageable planting. Great for trialing the variety or mixing into a few teepees or containers.
- The 125-gram packet suits larger home gardens and community plots aiming for successive sowings and continuous picking through the season. Enough seed to plant multiple short rows or a full trellis run.
- The 250-gram packet is a strong choice for avid growers, small market gardeners, or shared garden projects. Provides substantial coverage for multiple beds or longer fence-line trellises.
- The 2-kg sack is best for market farms, CSA programs, and large-scale plantings requiring consistent, extended yields. Ideal for staggered sowings across many rows or long high-tunnel trellises.
