????? there is no one titled Swami at Swami Organic seeds, sure you're not thinking of Swami Select, the guy that goes by Swami, wears all the white robes and is not a breeder. Gas charges a $100 for 15 to 17 seeds in a pack and gives you a freebie pack of 15 seeds per order (not testers, full packs from the seed list), no matter if you buy 1 pack or 5, don't really see how that's all about the money and good luck on getting a deal like that anywhere else for those genetics. Only time I've seen him charge more than $100 a pack is for some pre release special land races that he brought in. Gas has answered ever question I've ask him in detail about genetics, soil or anything. Only people I've seen him bitch about deserved it. I get my most all my beans from 5 breeders and he's one of the top ones. Also not familiar with any heirloom Afghani's in the shop other than the BOEL breedings and PNW stuff. He even made a mistake on my Black Friday order, sent one wrong item, I emailed him and he reshipped the whole order corrected including the freebies, so I'm sorry if I don't see it from my experiences.
Best,
Baq
