Bought More Seeds!

This is gonna be my last purchase of seeds for the year. LOL. That doesn’t really mean much, since it’s already November!

Since I couldn’t find live thyme plants and the last batch of thyme i sowed didn’t germinate or didn’t grow well. I’m giving thyme another chance and I’m sowing more. I bought more seeds.

Also lost my Sage due to the weather. As always. Sheesh.

Seed Swapping

So I’ve joined a few forums that concern growing your own food and I’ve been swapping stuff around with fellow hobbyists for the past 6 weeks now. I’ve been getting a massive amount of free seeds and free plants from people who I barely know. Which is absolutely the best thing ever! =D

I’ve joined www.tomatoville.com, www.thehotpepper.com, www.thechilliforum.com, and www.pinoyexchange.com…. and so far my favorite place to get free stuff is from the folks at tomatoville. I mean they just give stuff away for no reason! It’s awesome. People at THP, TCF and PEX have also been quite generous to me. And I have been generous to quite a few people there also.

Of course within reason. I do plan on still purchasing seeds from SOME sellers that are known to have good reputation.

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)


Since the recommended Pro-mix and Miracle Gro Orchid Mix weren’t exactly available here locally, and I am not that crazy to go on ebay and buy that stuff online. So I went out and looked around for alternatives.

Ordering Seeds from Ebay.ph Update

So ordering from Ebay’s easy. Problem is, when the darned things are gonna arrive! It’s been two weeks now and none of the seeds I ordered have arrived (the ones that were based overseas. I got overly excited and bought a ton of stuff from different people and from different countries. I just hope they don’t get lost or get held up in customs. I’ve already spent a pretty penny on all those seeds.

Let’s see…. I bought…..
