Ace, there is some funny stuff turning up this side of the pond too, not me personally but I have heard about it.

Never, ever sow seeds from China or anywhere else that doesn't have strict phyto-sanitray inspections and certificates!

Of course not, the folks I know that have received them, then alerted others and chucked the seed

chucked the seed

If it was me I would be more inclined to burn them. So there was no chance of germination at a council tip.

Ace, that is much better, I personally didn't get them, just quoted others over here that had. We are not allowed fires of any kind over here, but if I did get them I think I would microwave them, then chuck 'em
