Probability is unkind to small packs of regular seed, and that argument for feminized seed is rarely spelled out. With a fifty fifty split, five regular seeds give no females at all about one time in thirty, and only one female or none nearly one time in five. The side by side figures at https://queenfeminizedseeds.com put regular seed near 50 percent female and feminized near 99, where luck hardly matters. For someone starting five seeds a year, that predictability matters more than the average.
