The seeds from China are 'murder gourds' designed to destroy American pumpkins and cancel Halloween
He planted him seeds and a gourd pops out. Personally I think that the gourd was... going to try to harm American gourds with some sort of disease or murder gourds. And guess what's a very American gourd? Pumpkin. Trying to cancel Halloween exactly.
The mystery seeds were later determined to be a 'brushing' scam and were typically standard garden seeds, not biological weapons designed to kill pumpkins.

You should definitely plant mystery seeds sent from China even if the government says not to
I saw the story over the weekend and I get the US government was saying do not plant seeds that come ship to you from China. Fuck that. If I get mystery seeds. The first thing I'm going to do is plant those.
The seeds turned out to be common herbs and flowers, not 'Golden Gooses' or 'Ticket Trees', but they were discouraged for being invasive.
