^ thanks sa response sis. i'll try your suggestion hopefully this weekend. tamang-tama at may nahihinog akong kamatis sa ref. sabi nga ng MIL ko mukhang rich yung soil sa amin. actually sa labas ng village namin may madadaanan kang taniman ng palay so baka nga ok ang quality ng soil kaya ganun so far ang meron sa edible garden namin ay okra, sili, american lemon, calamansi, malungay, 2 kinds ng papaya (yung malaking mahaba at normal na size), ampalaya, kalabasa, kamote tops, alukbati, talong, at.. citronella -> edible naman to noh? haha

plano ko rin magkaron ng collection ng herbs in small pots tapos lalagay ko sa may window ng kitchen. gusto ko sana ng mint, thyme, rose mary, coriander, oregano, alfalfa, arugula, at basil. natatakam ko tuloy bigla ng pizza hehe

I recently tried cooking meals from different cuisine, lately nagsubscribe ako kay HotThaiKitchen sa ytube. Kaya napabili ako ng mga thai herbs.

Im sooooo happy nung pumunta kami sa tagaytay nakabili ako ng Kaffir Lime, galangal, Lime, lemon, basil, peppermint!

Yay! sana hindi mamatay. hehe

I am beyond happy to have found this thread.

My future dream is for me and my family to live a self-sustainable lifestyle, such that we don't need to go to the market for our vegetables, maybe sooner or later we'll have our own poultry, we'll have healthy supply of food, basta ganun. Pangarap kong makumpleto yung kanta na "Bahay Kubo" sa sarili kong bakuran.

I still don't claim myself as an environmentalist, but I know for sure that I am an environment safety advocate. This is why I have been starting to convert into solar power sourcing on some of our appliances. (Off-Topic), I don't know if I have a green thumb pero for sure wala namang hindi natututunan.

Ang tanong ko sa mga sisses natin dito, anong pwedeng first step to build your own vegetable garden? I am planning to utilize our lot in tagaytay to be our source of large-scale produce in the future and use hydroponics here in manila.

Pahingi naman ng tips and advices nyo mga sis..

hi mga sis! i would like to go to AANI weekend market to buy herbs. ano po ang sasakyan if i'm coming from edsa-shaw blvd area?

[luna laxa]

^sis double check mo rin sa How To Commute To pero kung tama alala ko, sakay ka lang ng bus na Fairview bound o kaya anumang dadaan ng commonwealth tapos baba ka sa Qc city hall. May underpass dun patawid sa circle.

Punta ka if you can find time sis. Isa to sa mga favorite weekend activities ko ^.^

[prepster]

@luna laxa,

wow, i didnt know makakabili rin ng plants sa QC Circle! thanks for the info! I was actually thinking of going to the AANI in Taguig, but I'll use your tip and  go to QC instead this weekend since familiar nako sa area. Taguig maybe next week na lang if i find out how to get there.

 I plan to buy mint, oregano, thai basil.

[angese10]

pwede kaya ito iship sa province?

[prepster]

I went to QC circle today. was able to buy lemon mint, java mint, spearmint (haha, puro mint!) and thai basil. went to ace hardware and bought ramgo seeds...two kinds of lettuce and bunching onions. also a brick of cocopeat.

medyo nanghinayang ako na puro mint nabili ko, i should've gotten citronella and lemongrass...kaso kasi masyado malalago, eh mag jeep lang ako pauwi.

sa palengke bago ako umuwi i bought garden soil. bibili pa dapat ako ng bellpepper na ida-dry ko ang seeds kaso ang bigat na ng mga dala ko.

when i got home, i soaked the cocopeat in water, then mixed it with the garden soil. tinanim ko yung seeds, transplanted the herbs i bought in containers tapos nagtransplant ng tomato seedlings ko.

grabe, di na tuloy ako nakanuod ng wonder woman kanina. hahaha. i just hope mabuhay talaga tong new herbs and seeds.

[luna laxa]

^ganda ng pagkakakwento mo sis. Makes me want to garden again ^.^

[etxetera]

Ang hirap mag garden dahil sa nakakalokang weather. Ang gaganda na nung sweet basil na from seeds ng umulan ng umulan ayun mukhang mga ewan na at natigok yung iba. Yung kaisa-isang maitno medyo nagtatampo pa itsura ng mga dahon sana eh mabuhay pa.
 
I bought spearmint ang ganda  after the two weeks sunod sunod na ulan ayun kalahati namatay. Buhay pa naman kaso pakalbo na ibang dahon 

HIndi ako successful sa lettuce tigilan ko na siya 

[mommyxthree]

Hello there. Sinubukan kong gayahin ang pinterest na ilagay lang sa tubig ang spring onions or leeks para tumubo pero hindi ako successful. Has anyone tried this method?

[super bratinella]

I want to start planting herbs din oustide, buy ako ng pots then seeds to start.. sana succesful sobrang bilis lang din tumubo mga plants.

[etxetera]

Basil na lang buhay na muntikan pa malunod kahapon lol pati italian parsley ko na nabili natigok. Di kinaya weather    Ang napansin ko mas maganda tubo ng basil plants pag sa clay pot kesa plastic pot.
