Budget-Brecher

Just three weeks after planting, I'm already harvesting lettuce and spinach that would've cost me a fortune at the supermarket. The seed packets are packed with way more seeds than I expected, easily enough to fill my entire veggie patch.

The 2-tonne promise sounded like marketing fluff, but my first harvest of leafy greens alone has already paid back the packet price. These are seriously productive varieties for the space they take up, and the mix covers everything from staples to salad.

Planted these seeds in late spring and the germination rate was close to perfect, easily over 90%. For under thirty bucks I've already pulled in more fresh produce than I could buy at the supermarket. The zucchini alone has been producing faster than we can eat it.
