Re: Pumpkin seeds returned
Jim, I've had two of my bubble packs returned for the same reason.
Ironically both were going to the same zip code in Illinois. Unfortunately
the seed inside the pack were destroyed by US customs. I did get seed to the
grower eventually by mailing packs in Portland when I went to the PNWGPG
spring meeting and seminar. Those of us Canadian growers that send seed to
the US and live close to the border may have to be creative to send seed to
our American friends.
