order review

"I planted these seeds yesterday and was very surprised to find out this morning that they had grown overnight into exceedingly large plants stretching up to the clouds. I am presently assembling my climbing gear to begin an attempt to see what is at the top. I will let you know. I thought this was only supposed to happen with bean seeds."
