If I received an unsolicited packet of seeds from anywhere WHY would I plant them?  Why would anyone just go and plant them?  That's puzzling to me.


Some probably have no idea where they came from and just thought oh what a nice gift. They are some who are incredibly naive. Same people who give away all their personal info to anyone who calls them and answers their door to anyone who knocks.

Has something like this ever happened before? It sounds so familiar to me. Maybe I saw it on a tv show or such. Still very strange.

I suppose some will go into the garbage... into the landfill... and still get spread.  Probably part of the plan

There is a cyber war going on every day.  The US people on the front lines here are remarkable and do not get the credit (or pay!) they deserve for the most part.

If they really want people to plant them, all they need to do is write "Magic Beans!" on the package. Woman Very Happy

I would burn them.  If you flushed them or threw them in the garbage they could eventually germinate elsewhere.  We have enough invasive plants.  Where I live in particular is overrun with bamboo which started as an interesting ornamental.

Just read that some residents of NC have received packets of seeds as well.
