Packaging Seeds

Volumes (or Numbers) of Seeds per Envelope

Generally, we copied West Coast Seed volumes (or numbers) of seeds per pack. However with some seeds (eg. Tomatoes) we use lower numbers to spread the seeds more broadly. Some other seeds we pack in larger amounts, since our donated seeds were in greater numbers. Those seed types not on the form will be measured into envelopes in ad hoc numbers.
