Pataskala,OH

Say you ask someone for a seed and send them a bubble envelope in December. How long before you remind them that you have not got that seed yet? or am I just not patient?

Well, I'm in my 3rd year and I consider myself a newbie, tons more to learn, I usually can't hold back my excitment to get the seeds, if they are taking a extremely long time to get to me, I will usually ask.

Nic,
If you e-mailed the grower to ask for the seed originally,
send another e-mail asking if they did receive your bubble, and if they already sent out their bubbles for the year. They may not have received your bubble or they may be waiting to send them all out at one time.

Be patient Nic...some growers wait untill all the auctions are over to send out their packages and seeds.

Good advice from Flatlands.

I agree with Glenn on that, No worries here, I still have 2 or 3 bubbles I sent out that I havnt got back yet. Its usally right after auction time is all over when the bubbles start rolling out for alot of the great named growers.

Tom Beachy used to send all his bubbles out 3 days before growing season started,,LOL!! remember them days Tom?,,ha!

Just wondering.

Mill Creek West by god Virginia

i guess i got to answer this one in a politically correct way,to start off Randy i assume by saying does this person live in West by god Virginia you mean me as i am the one you sent bubble to and emailed asking about it,the bubble no bubbles i have left to send out this year have all been filled for awhile but i guess ive been lazy seing that im trying to run a business that takes up 6 days a week from just about daylight till 7or8 pm at night on top of trying to be a dad and husband,so truelly they have slipped my mind some,for this i appoligize but as many on this site will tell you when i give my word i stick by it even if i got to travel half way accross the country to keep it, anyway ill get to youre bubble and any others that ive not gotten out yet asap and please remeber pumpkin growers also are real people with lives and responsibilities far beyond the patch. sorry if this sounds wrong good luck in 09 and god bless

4 months later, still no seeds. Sent bubble before Christmas.

I hope he runs his business better than how he sends out seeds.

Bubble senders beware.
