The membership packs are ready to go. Once we got them together I was shocked at how many seeds were donated this year. Thank-you to everyone involved. Each pack is ending up with at least 50 different current seed packs, plus I added a few "vintage" seeds to each pack as well. Here is a picture of a typical pack that you will receive with your paid membership for 2018. If you haven't paid yet, please do so we can get one of these packs out to you. The first half of the packs look like this, the second half is a bit smaller as we started to run out of some seeds. They will be going in the mail the end of this week or beginning of next week.
you have mail
Is there anyone out there that paid their membership, but didn't get their seeds? If so, email us at gvgogrowers@gmail.com Thanks.

Thanks for the answers, I will have a little patience.
I sent a bubble to Germany after xmas and it took 9 weeks for the grower to recieve it. I places 10 seeds in the bubble . The bubble was opened and closed . The grower received 3seeds out of the 10. I had no tracking on the bubble
They were all mailed out on Feb 16th. A few people in Europe and UK have received them but I don't think most have yet. Not sure why it's taking so long as last year it took about a week.
Hi Norbert
Sorry for the delay. For some reason or another, it seems to be taking a long time to get to Germany. We had one seed pack take almost 7 weeks to get there. Not sure why there is a problem. Hopefully your seed pack will arrive soon. If they don't arrive in 2 weeks, then we'll make sure to get another out asap.
Is there anyone else in Germany or other European country having issues with their seed packs arriving? If so, please let us know. Thanks.
Phil & Jane
Does anyone know what it is with the bubbles for Germany?
That would be fantastic, the more seeds the better! I'm still new to growing from seed so my success rate isn't the best yet.
Hi Jeff, I have lots of giant carrot seeds too. I'm the one that sends out the seed packs so I'll make sure to add some.
Hi Jeff, It's unlikely that there will be any carrot seeds in your seed pack this year. I have more carrot seeds than I can use so if you give me your address I will send some to you asap. The sooner you get them started the better. My e-mail address is Lyonspum@aol.com
I just joined today and I'm looking forward to getting my seed pack. Can anyone tell me if it contains any giant carrot seeds?
I was given a giant carrot seedling last year and managed to grow it to 2lb, and I think I can do better this year! However I just don't know where to find any seeds.
Thanks for the fantastic seeds, arrived today this must be the best selection I've ever had.
The weather in uk today is gales snow and minus 10 coldest march on record blowing in from Siberia Hope to get the patch ready soon. So thank you all for your hard work and time

Jim appologises for his error, it should be 1421.5 Jutras. I guess senior moment.
he would like to know if anyone has onion seeds.
thanks, Terri
Jim says thankyou for the great seed pack.
I will ask him to clarify the squash information.
I got my seed pack today and I was really surprised with the great seeds. I know that some of them will be seeing dirt in the patch this year. Thanks for putting it all together John and thanks to all the generous seed contributors. Without you we could not offer the chance for our members the opportunity to obtain such a great diversity of seeds.
Best of luck to all GVGO members this year.
Simon that is a 386 Reid grown off the 1998.5 Jutras. Funny it would say squash as the Jutras was a pumpkin from 2015. Hopefully Jim Reid sees this and can clarify.
Got mine today great variety thank you John and everyone who contributed
Hi Mr. Nieuwenhoff,

Thank you
Simon Southwell
PB 933 lbs. Pumpkin
PB 3.74 lbs. Tomato
PB 73 lbs. Long Gourd
Simon, the 1998.5 Jutras was a pumpkin. Joe Jutras sent some seeds for the packages but not 1998.5's perhaps it was used in the cross of one of the seeds you got? Can you post a picture?
Got mine today also. Great looking seed pack. Thanks John and everybody for donating.
