Well, from reading a lot of stuff from the forums that I’ve recently joined, they are pretty much saying that buying seeds from sellers on ebay is a big NO-NO. They’re saying that they’re just a bunch of small time and just in it for the money.

Jolokia Seed Sprouting Experiment, Philippines Edition

So I got bored while waiting around for stuff to pop out. Since class isn’t starting for another two weeks for me (culinary school).I went out to the mall and bought three kinds of seed starting mediums. (local brands and pretty cheap)

Two of my Sage seedlings died after I tried moving them to a better pot. I still got three so I don’t really have to worry about it.

Here’s a pic of two that are together.
