Prices at Burpee

HOLY COW!! Most of their selections are at least $4.90 something. For one pack of seeds. You would think that they have struck gold and are trying to sell it. Ive ordered a little something each year (Brandy Boy, which I love) but with those prices I may decline to do so this year on principle alone. I dont think that is a very good marketing strategy considering all the more reasonable places. They offered the "rainbow carrot" for $3.95. The same thing elsewhere has been $1-2. I couldnt believe the prices, practically $5 for anything new. Grrrrrr.
