Just ordered a ton of seeds. Okay, not a ton, only 18.5 pounds, which is 8.4kg.
For those in the USA, Amazon sells seeds by a place called "Food to Live", and the more items you order, they give you a discount, so by ordering 10 items I got a 10% discount, which basically paid for one of the items. Most of the items are Amazon Prime, and so will be here in the next couple of days (I now feel bad ordering right before Christmas, didn't need to add to the frenzy and load the shippers are dealing with).
Will let you know what I think of the quality as they come in.
Getting: Fennel, Cumin, Dill, Caraway, Coriander, Celery, Sesame, Chia, Fenugreek, and then Wheat Berries to sprout/grow for fresh grass for degus, birds, dogs, and cats.

Seeds just started arriving yesterday, so I haven't had time to mix them up yet. For some reason, even though they are all coming from Amazon, and all from the same source company, they are coming in packages of one and two. Got two identical size, mostly empty because they were too big, boxes early Sat morning via UPS. Got three yellow padded envelopes, each a different size, with one bag each in them, and one white plastic USPS Postal bag, which was not big enough and so the sticky sealing strip was actually stuck to the bottom of the seed bag instead, carried up my slippery driveway in the slightly freezing rain by a mailman desperately trying not to drop anything as she also had our regular mail in the pile, yesterday afternoon. One Fedex box a little later on. And two more packages that will supposedly come today, Sunday, by mail, also.
All but one have the same Amazon shipping facility listed as the return address. Amazon is so weird. Could have easily put them all in one medium-sized box.
They look really good, tho. Clean seed, good size, plump, very nice looking. And OH! the smell!!! Since these are human food-grade seeds, I may have to do some cooking....
