The seeds were shipped promptly, and they arrived quickly, well-packaged and all! There was even a couple extra seed gifts in the package that I didn’t expect at all, which was really nice! A wonderful experience, all-in-all! Thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing these grow and produce a lot!
