Remember when China sent all those free seeds to us 4 or 5 years ago? Were we ever told what that was all about? No telling what the balloon is filled with, and Xi is counting on us to bring it down and releasing the stuff.

“Eventually, the official line became that this was a ‘brushing’ campaign, in which items of small value are sent to people whose online accounts have been compromised, or are sent to people as a ‘gift.’ In order to leave a positive review from a ‘verified buyer’ (which is weighted higher because the person nominally bought and used the product), you need to have actually bought or received an item, so by receiving seeds, reviews from that account or name will be weighted higher.”

The plants that came from them had an inordinate amount of seeds. I re-propagated them to use for chicken feed.
