The seeds are labeled individually with microdots indicating genus and species; just put them under a scope and have a peek.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, cabbage, hibiscus, lavender, mint, morning glory, mustard, rose and thyme.

Needs to be edited down a little.

Seems like a lot of work and waste of electricity. Gasoline and a match is quicker and more effective.

Aren’t we all on one Earth?

If the seeds grow in China, I bet there’s another are SOMEWHERE in the world, perhaps in the USA, they’ll grow.

As it’s been said, “Nature Finds A Way”

These seeds are for China’s leading agricultural exports... if they are grown elsewhere, China’s economy will collapse...

Maybe

why don’t you convert to Islam then since you love them so much.

While the rest of us have a healthy mistrust of them and the goals of their faith.

One of my neighbors got a package. We burned it in the forge - nice little fire.

Yes, ensure there is no GM changes. I hope that analysis is being done and they didn’t simply plant them.

True, but some seeds need more than a quick burn to destroy and some people may not want to play with gasoline. (There are seeds that become activated by burning)

I think the US should retaliate by sending Chinese residents packets of dandelion and crab grass seeds......

Lurker :" Nuke the bastards. Now. "

Source : https://www.britannica.com/science/chestnut-blight

" Chestnut blight, plant disease caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (formerly known as Endothia parasitica).
Accidentally imported from Asia, the disease was first observed in 1904 in the New York Zoological Gardens.
By 1925 it had decimated the American chestnut (Castanea dentata) population
in an area extending over 1,600 km (1,000 miles) north, south, and west of its entry point.

My Comment : That is why so many homes built in the 20's and 30's had so much decorative and ornamental interior wood.
American chestnut was used for front doors, cabinets, mantle pieces, tables and chairs, etc.
The blight literally killed massive forests almost overnight.

Noticed that even later, in the early 70s, in NYC the sidewalk roasted chesnut vendors slowly disappeared in late fall and winter. They practically surrounded Rockefeller Center at Christmas time and into the New Year.

Hardly ever see chestnuts in any markets, even the speciality food stores.

True that, chestnuts are a verrry rare commodity !
Back in the very early 80's, I sent away for chestnut blight resistant nuts as there are some tree nurseries that are trying to bring back the American chestnut.
I received three small nuts, planted them all, and only one nut sprouted. When last I passed by that old farmstead of decades ago, I saw the nut which I had planted and nursed was now an isolated 28 foot tree.
There are now very few vestiges of American chestnut stands, mostly in isolated areas; one such small area nearby is a County park of glacial eskers and pot holes
which account for the trees isolation and survivability, but too far away for pollination.
Hopefully, there will be a resurgence of Chestnut since the roasted nuts are delicious, and the wood has a lustrous inherent beauty.

An excellent book on Chestnut woodworking and beauty as well as other woods:
"A Reverence for Wood" by Eric Sloane - (with color plates !)

It is dereliction of duty, that we do not have enough neutron bombs to depopulate China, or any other enemy. Depopulation is a great idea for the world as long as it isn’t me and my family and friends..lol
