Hello good folks at STS!

My name is Paul and I have a sunny terrace

The gardening bug has only really caught me last year. I used to grow a single species indoors for some time, which i had to stop eventually. After a while of no gardening at all, in autumn 2019 i decided to pre-grow things indoors over winter and make something of my terrace this summer. I started ordering seeds like crazy. This means all my plants are still very small.

So far I have living Mimosa tenuiflora, Trichocereus (wild seeds i received as  bonus -> exact species unclear), Ipomoea tricolor 'Heavenly Blue', Nicotiana rustica, Phalaris brachystachys, also Salvia splendens, Cyperus esculentus, various Capsicum (Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Bhut Jolokia, Red Savina, Fatali, Jalapeño, some Thai chili), Ocimum tenuiflorum, Cymbopogon citratus, Arctium lappa var. sativa, Cucumis melo var. flexuosum.

There have also been quite a few failures. Psychotria viridis, Acacia maidenii and burkittii, Peganum harmala, didn't sprout. Banisteriopsis caapi sprouted but died after a month or two. I'll try again and put more effort into it next time.

I have more seeds, and even more are on their way I have Trichocereus bridgesii and werdermannianus seeds coming in, as well as fresh chacruna seeds for a new try.

I come here for learning more about my new hobby, and for exchanging seeds, seedlings, and cuttings, in the future.
