So disappointed that my 2 x 247 Graham seeds didn’t germinate. I had high hopes for them but I guess was due to their age.

First i have ever heard of a 247 seed not germinating.They have all been refrigerated since the drying process and any seed that comes from me is full

If there was more time i would send you a few. I sent 247 seeds to the Netherlands and Germany in the january and the bubbles took over 2 months to arrive

Carl, these days Canada post seems to send everything standard by surface mail. You really have to tell them to send it by airmail. They will then arrive here in Europe within a week. Still lots of time to start FPs. Better not to start them before June 1st.

Hi Brad.Canada Post want approx $30 Canadian to send a bubble airmail to the Netherlands. The bubble i sent to Germany was opened and then sealed. 10 seeds were inside the bubble but the grower only received 3 seeds

Same price to send a bubble to the Netherlands they tell me.The bubble i sent took 9 weeks for the grower to receive it but it was not opened and the 10- 247 seeds were inside.

Those are crazy prices. I can send a bubble with 10 seeds from here to Canada by airmail for $3 and we are known for being an expensive country.
The GVGO seed pack took about 2 months to arrive as well. It cost $8.84 and had about 50 seed packs in it.

Thanks Carl. I got the seeds after winning a bid on the crazy growers auction (Germany based). One seed felt very empty to me and unlikely to germinate, and the other failed too. I germinated with lots of other pumkins and squash and conditions were right. Is there any chance you would be able to send me a couple? If too late for this year, I could try again next year.

Airmail would be great, Cash transfer via Paypal works good for me.
