seeds in bulk

so I've "farmed" 2 growing seasons so far, and have painfully discovered, that you have to have tons of packs of seed to be able to fill the size garden I have. (which I consider it a modest size) So this is my first time to order bulk seeds. I first went to the feed store, they had a good selection at a fair price. Although, the seeds were all coated in a colored "mixture", making it impossible to tell even which plant you are planting, not to mention the fact that those little coated seeds are "genetically engineered" by the Monsanto corporation. These seeds produce sterile seeds and have pesticides injected into it DNA. (I'll revisit this topic sometime else) Anyways... I ultimately ordered online at sustainable seed company. I THINK I will finally have enough seed to fill my garden and still reasonable in price considering how much you will ultimately save in future food cost. I think the seed count for the corn was 900 seeds at 2 corns per plant.. That would be 1800 corn for 6.99. Pretty good deal :) So I'm really excited about getting them in the mail!!
