[red1_marius]

haha its Tuesday pala. Still have this notion basta long holiday....

@Ulyssa, tamboka sa imohang mga basils ui....yeah i love basil to....I cant resist to have them in most of my dishes.... how does that purple one taste like?

i have lots of seeds of holy basil (most thais love this basil)....i can give you some. Its rainy season and its great time to cultivate.

I dont have a big space thats why im limited to pplanting one variety at each pot...cant wait to look at your garden.

oh! i havent tried holy basil yet! sure! id love to get some of the seeds to try it out. We can trade if u want. I've got other seeds here like rosemary, sage, marjoram, chives, corriander and a few others.

The purple one smells exactly like sweet basil.. it just looks different. I personally like it coz it decorates the house and smells good too! haha.

if u do plan to come over, let me know ahead of time.

yey thats great to hear! no problem will give you lots of seeds of holy basil.

papalita kog one of each: purple, dwarf and thai. Though I already have seeds of the thai basil, but I would like to be sure i have those kay I always love to eat them!

I have one kind of each: tarragon, fennel, peppermint, mint, parsley,sweet basil (a mother plant where I let it bear seeds!), turmeric, vietnamese coriander, holy basil, chives and chinese garlic chives...im still looking for rosemary and other herbs pa....just love to plant those.

wala naman sad ko gakaon og meats thats why these plants are my most trusted ingredients in fresh salads...

I think i need to pay you a visit over the weekend. will pm you.

@ulyssa, how about lemon basil (sangeg sa atoang term), you want? i have plenty of seeds...it grows here like grasses...my thai neighbors are the ones who can appreciate this herb. its good for fish, tanggal ang lansa.

o ayan para makumpleto na ang basil collection mo. hahahahaha.

oh! can i get a tiny tiny division of your peppermint and mint? I heard that they spread like crazy even with just one sprout. i had a tarragon, but it died. Is there any way to propagate them by cuttings? i read that u need rooting hormones for that, but i cant find any in Cebu. I tried rooting tarragon in water, but it died too.

trade trade!

[red1_marius]

no problem, I will propagate my tarragon, help me pray muturok. hehehehee......its good kay rainy season na man sad. I will try.

For the mint, actually ang akoa kay nipalit kog mint sa supermarket kanang naka pack then pila na ka days sulod sa ref nasangan ko maglabay, what i did was, i tried to plant those, imagine nitubo!...i suggest buy fresh mints sa supermarket then tanom dayon....yeah they will grow like crazy sad....dili lisod patuboon.

For the peppermint, will try kung mutubo sa cuttings....im still googling some tips on how to grow them.

[red1_marius]

u mean rosemary can grow from seeds? have you tried it?

i had a mint plant (which died coz i forgot to water it one HOT HOT day). I tried cutting a few stems and putting it in a pot of soil and it died. The only success i had was when i took one that was already rooting, and then it spread.

Cge, i'll go raid the supermarket tomorow

Hi Uly....as promised, here's the link: cook my garden

[PaulG]

I've got a friend who does vermi composting too and is selling his african night crawlers periodically, depending on the breeding season. Let me contact him and see the details.

OT: pics of my garden.


I do organic gardening as well, but only to decorate my garden and personal consumption.. like tomatoes and a few herbs&spices.

Gardening is such a great hobby! It's addicting and very fulfilling.
happy gardening!

nice! wish i had the space to do something like this. hope you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to setup?
