I’ve been interested in plants, since I was very young. I recall buying a pkt of Pansy seeds, because I loved their ‘faces’ & wanted to start them myself. I asked my dad for help. He constructed a home made germination box & then proceeded to make rows & then sowed them all, by himself!
But those days are far away & long ago,
Now I try to grow many seeds, myself. I have a cactus collection now that I’ve been acquiring since 2000,
I’ve always been interested in perennial too, so I stay rather busy, tending to those, also. Either by starting from own production seeds, or through mail order seed packets or plants (including Ebay) I try to do the best with what I get.
I hope to make new fellow gardening friends here & eventually gather enough collected & ‘stashed’ seeds, or vegetatively propagate plants, so that I may do some actual trading, with other myfolia members in the near future.
