- noemi v.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars9/7/26Damaged seeds
I was very excited to start planting a few seeds today however I noticed a lot of my seeds in the packet were damaged. Even after taking a few out I was still able to see a few damaged seeds in the packet

If my toddler would stop using the packet as a maraca then I’ll be ready to plant 😂
