Fast shipping and can’t wait to plant and watch them grow.
My only suggestion is that the packaging needs to be improved. These seeds are really tiny and, as a result, they tend to get stuck around the track of the ziplock bag in which they’re packaged.
One idea is to first wrap them in parchment paper then place the parchment paper into the ziplock bag.
Thanks!
