Thank you all.

Royce,
I also have commitment issues. I want to grow everything!
I make sure the tomato seeds have at least an 85% germination rate even though the law says 75%. The majority are in the 90 something range. I suppose I should add that to the site somewhere. Anyway, most people are good gardeners and have excellent results, but I figure having a minimum of 15 seeds affords people the leeway in case they do have trouble one way or another. Even I have trouble once in awhile. I had an odd one with beans. Last year, of one variety I started, not one grew. This year starting seeds of that variety out of the same batch(I figured I'd give it one more try,) all of them grew!
