the smallest quantity of seeds i could buy in bulk from the grain elevator was a half pound.
i wished to get some winter rye, but he'd already sold out, the last three bags went a few days ago. so for some reason i asked him how much and he said $19.50/50lb bag. i only need a bit. he said he doesn't sell smaller amounts than 50lb bags. he's sold out anyways. for some strange reason i always figured he'd keep a bag handy for people like me who only need a little...
in the meantime i have a half pound of turnip seeds (that's a large number of turnip seeds!), half a pound of white clover seeds and half a pound of buckwheat seeds.
guess i will have to shop some more. i would like to add some non-GMO: barley, winter wheat and winter rye to the clay breaking and other ground cover winter lineup (i already have peas, alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil) and of course the existing opportunistic weeds.
