I haven’t planted any of my new seeds yet but I’m very impressed with the packaging and the overall “look” of the seeds – they seem very healthy! My package arrived quickly. And the seller included a packet of bee-friendly wildflower seeds that I am very excited to plant in one of my balcony pots. Thank you!!
