I planted 40,000 essential heirloom tomato seeds on the first day of this week. I purchased them by mail. No problem.
Livingston seeds ten for a dollar here. The seeds and bulbs seem to be in good supply. Same with ordering from Spring Hill, etc. I would be alarmed if I saw such a thing though. Husband is still doing his yearly bait and fishing supply buys! Lol!

ETA- Seed packets. ;)

That sounds steep. I got 40,000 for under $90, including shipping. With the quantity that I bought, I got about 5 seeds for a penny. For about a dollar, you should be able to get them at about 1 seed per penny.

You might want to shop around online.

Talk to me after you see how many of those 10 seeds germinate.
They germinate. I’ve used them off and on for years. And there are more than 10 seeds. They got an overstock hence the sale.

I’m curious, what do you do with 40,000 seeds??

What do you do with all the produce?

So far I've saved the seeds, and put them back out in the field; and I ate a few. I've only been farming for a few years. I have a lot to learn; and I'm doing it in all of the most challenging ways, except for no-till. I tried no-till but my success was pathetic. However, seeds will adapt to the grower's growing style over the years. I'm striving toward no-till regenerative agriculture.

If I can reach the level of success that I'm looking for; the seeds will probably be far more valuable than the fruit. They'll grow wild.

I have forgotten which state it was in; but it used to be that watermelons would only grow in the South. There was a farmer in the North who would seed his fields with watermelon every year with no success; until one day he got a survivor. From that one plant, watermelons are now widely grown in the North.

I wish you success! Sounds like something I would be into for sure. How long to seeds last where they still produce though?

I don't know what to believe. I've read not to hold them for more than a year; because their viability will sharply drop off. However I have also read that seeds were found in the pyramids of Egypt that were still viable. Surely how they are stored is very important; but I suppose that it might have something to do with which type of plant the seed came from. I just told this same story to a friend who is moving. She gave me a box of 20 year old flower seeds. There was a wide variety. I told her that would throw them out on my field and see what happens. I told her that I would give her pictures if anything bloomed.

I would suggest growing strawberries. We started with one plat (6 plants) 5 years ago and now we pull them up by the shovel load and they still have taken over our yard completely. They taste great and they are more prolific than rabbits!

I’m interested as well. If they germinate and come to their full fruition, let me know.

I remember one year I had a fourth of July party and one of the foods I bought was watermelon.

Just from people spitting out their seeds I had a watermelon patch grow... Lol. Crazy.
