I will post in the thread when your seeds arrive.
I'll be putting together the GVGO membership packs again this year. I hope everyone enjoyed them and put them to good use this past season. The weigh off season is over so that means the seed harvesting season has begun. This is a great way to get your seeds out there to other growers. Last year I think I did up about 240 packs so if you want every pack to have your seed please send in 240-250 (It really helps if you include a note with how many packs are included). We really need more of the "other" giants like Long Gourds, Tomatoes, Watermelon, Field Pumpkin, Green Squash, Bushel Gourd as well as the "other other" giants like carrots, beets, cabbage, rutabaga, cucumber, and others. So once you get the seeds harvested, dried properly, packaged and labelled (individually is preferred but bulk seeds will be packaged as time permits) please send them to me;

I plan on putting together the packages the same way as the last couple years, and it went as follows; Everyone that sent in seeds was given pretty much a complete set of everything that was sent in (except their own). After that, I started filling the seed packs weekly as I got an update on memberships paid. So the earlier you paid your membership, the better selection you got in your seed pack. That being said, last year the selection was great so everyone got a great pack but if you are paying your membership in March instead of January there may be a few seeds that we have run out of by then. Also, if you have any special requests (certain vegetables you are looking for or certain vegetables you will never grow) just send along a note or email me pumpkin1088 at outlook dot com.

Just received a big fat package of Matesa Monster pumpkin seeds today. Thanks! If you haven't got your membership paid yet for 2019, please do so ASAP. The seed packs will be getting put together sometime in the next couple weeks. It's a great line up of some of the best and biggest seeds we have ever had for the membership packs!

Two big boxes of seed arrived today from Chris Lyons and from Johnston & Butler full of great pumpkins, squash, bushel gourd, tomato, and sunflowers. Thank-you. The seed pack for members is starting to shape up nicely. Make sure to get your memberships renewed to get the best selection.
A BIG envelope of BIG pumpkin seeds and sunflowers arrived today from the Brysons, Thank-You!
The last seeds of 2018 arrived today from Harley Sproule and Jody Rendell. Thank You both for some more great seeds. Everyone else has about a month to get the seeds to me as I will start putting them together in Feb.
Thank you Chris Rodebaugh, your seeds arrived today. Some great seeds from South of the Border!
Seeds arrived yesterday from Norm Kyle, Some great Long Gourd and Pumpkins! Thanks
I've got them in the truck I'll try and get to the post office on my lunch break
Nice cross. Still time to get them out to John, as the seed packs don't usually start being mailed out until early Feb. Thanks for supporting the GVGO.
Is it too late to send in seeds?
I packaged 200 of my 842 (2363×self)
Some great pumpkin, squash, and watermelon seeds arrived today from Todd Kline. Thank-You!
Seeds in the mail today include the new Canadian Record - 1959 Hunt (enough for the first 220 memberships so get your membership paid up for 2019) as well as some great LG seeds from Al Eaton.
Seeds arrived today from Ben Johnson. Some big monster pumpkins from Northwestern Ontario. Great job this year Ben and thanks for donating your seeds to the club.
Received a great assortment of seeds from Dave McCallum including some great squash genetics and seeds from one of the longest pumpkins I've seen. Look for these in your membership packs. Hopefully now that Canada Post is not on strike any longer the seeds will start rolling in. If you haven't got yours ready yet please send them soon. The sooner your membership is paid and the sooner I receive the seeds the better your selection will be in your own membership pack.
Awesome hopefully I made the cut
Membership paid for 2019
Will the 1959 Hunt be in the seed packs this year?
The first of the seeds have arrived despite the Canada Post strike delays. Some big tomatoes and peppers from Mike Demers, Thanks!
