Carol,
I am not a typical seed seller, I guess I do not sell a lot of seeds, but I offer lots of varieties. Like Jeff mentioned, this is a labor of love for me, and not much profit (actually, it does not cover my seed production costs, but it still helps to spend less of my own money while doing so). I save as many seed as I can and test germination right after the seeds are dried up. Some varieties I have few seeds, but I still offer them - if I run out, I just remove them from the list. Some varieties I have lots (for me ) of seeds - 2000+ seeds, and this is more than sufficient, as I do not sell much. I also prefer to re-grow for fresh seed stock every 2-3 years, and the amount of seeds I save and sell seems to be just about right to maintain the schedule. I certainly cannot offer bulk seeds, and I do not think I will ever be able to do so. My goal is to offer some samples of more obscure varieties that may not be widely available outside of SSE at a low cost. Not sure if this helps... Tania
