Photos below are from our Baguio travel last Dec.2015
We visited couple of places there and I just want to share what we've seen! :)
My two kids Welcome's you to my blog site!
Mines View Park
I love herbs and I have been "trying" to grow them since 2010 and I had very few luck of propagating and planting as many as I want. Why? Cause I live in a tropical country and a region that is mostly hot and humid, the climate does not go well with growing herbs. ( But that was what I thought.)
As years of experience in planting herbs goes by, I have learned that I can grow herbs in the area where I live, that it just needs a lot of research and patience to grow them.
So from last 2014, two of my friends (Jhem and Michelle) gave me herbs which I was able to grow up until to date. Chives and Tarragon. They were very hearty. Continuous rain or very hot weather didn't kill them, and this what motivates me to plant again, but wiser this time.
Tarragon since 2014
Chives (Garlic) since 2014
I am very lucky to still have this plants, and now I am still growing them and trying to propagate by transplant and cuttings. I will have separate blog post on how I propagate Tarragon from cuttings as soon as I have more success to it.
And when we went to Baguio, I saw beautiful plants and herbs in Mines View Park and bought some to take home and start with growing more herbs in my mini-garden. :)
Some of the plants they sell there. Prices differ from which kind of plants you want to buy and how small or big they are. They also have some plants for table displays, and other succulent plants that are also great to grow.
You can even ask to bargain 3 plants for 100php ;) just be nice to the vendor and you will surely get it.
I bought Basil, Mint, Parsley, Lemon Pine, Thyme and Rosemary! Basic kitchen herbs for starter :)
Hope you enjoyed reading and I will share more next time!
Let me know what you think and I would love to here from your experience of growing herbs as well!
Happy gardening!
