Title: Hello from South Africa :)
Post by: Athena on August 18, 2015, 05:50:54 PM

Hi everyone!

So another member told me about this site and I absolutely had to join! I've spent a bit of time here reading posts and looking at what everyone is growing and I can't tell you how excited I am to be here and get growing with my own plants. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and also to share the seeds, of course.

Basically, my experience is limited to growing fruits, vegetables, herbs and carnivorous plants. I've also been growing some S. divinorum, Mandragora officinarum and cacti, as well as a few South African medicinal plants, but sadly lost quite a few plants while learning to care for them. As I'm sure you can gather, I'm fairly new to growing, and after losing a few plants I spent some time reading about various ethnobotanical plants before I started growing them to avoid history repeating itself. I'm in the process of germinating quite a few seeds, and will be doing many more once the weather finally warms up here.

I've been collecting seeds from plants that I would like to grow and in most cases I got more than I need so would be happy to trade/share them with others that would like to grow them as well.

So yeah. That's all for now I guess, thanks for reading!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone  :)

And thanks BubbleCat, though I thought I had filled in the lists. Is it not showing on my profile? I must've done something silly  :-\
