For any and all of you whom are unable to afford to purchase edible plants and/or seeds because you are unemployed and on Food Stamps well that excuse is unusable. If you look at the fine print you'll find that 2 things that can also be bought with Food Stamps are seeds and plants. Don't believe me? Look for yourself https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligible-food-items The only condition is: Seeds and plants which produce food for the household to eat. As such your purchase will supply free food in the future rather than only at a single meal
