Hiya GC, it is suprising how far some packets of seeds go, and how short others stretch. Some of the packets only have a pinch of seed. I have 2 plots, which I try to cram full, plus the greenhouse and a few veggies at home that the children sow. And, the plan is, if I look after them, hopefully I won't have to worry to much about seeds next year also. I don't sell any veg, but I do give surplus to the teachers at the childrens school and the neighbours, so it all goes to good homes in the end.

Cheers!
