The packet I sell as 250+++ is actually 1.1 gram. I do this because there is some chaff amongst the seeds. The chaff is very light & should not in any way affect the amount of seeds you are receiving. It would be extremely time consuming and tedious to count out seeds and remove all chaff, so this is the method I use to insure you get what you are paying for. The seeds will be shipped in an envelope via USPS First Class Mail. Most seeds will be mailed on the day of your order if received in time or go out the following day. NOTE TO BUYER: First Class mail does NOT include tracking. If I put tracking on the shipment, it’s an extra $4. I try to get my product to my customers by the least expensive method possible. If you don’t receive your shipment within typical 1st Class time, PLEASE CONTACT ME instead of filing with eBay! Without tracking ($4), I can’t prove to eBay where the package is located. My only other option is to raise the price by $4, which I prefer not to do. Your cost will be more than doubled! I TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR ENVELOPE & SEED PACKET BEFORE I PUT IN THE MAIL. If you want me to send you the photo, please notify me & I will send it to you. GROWING LAMBS QUARTER:Select a good location for growing Lambs Quarter in your home garden.
