We thought we&#8217;d seen every possible seed containment method possible, like packets, small envelopes, plastic bags and even wax paper origami. It&#8217;s not all that often we encounter a new seed containment method, but alas, we&#8217;ve now seen yet another one! We&#8217;re really digging these little [&#8230;]]]></description>
