My mom love to garden even when we lived in California our home town. If she can find something to satisfied her boredom was to start gardening in her terrace in her home. My mom has a green thumb. I would ask my mom what type of vegetables she would like to plant in her terrace. I was looking for a seller to purchase in Shopee. We had moments when I would order seeds from some of the sellers and they we're painted with metallic colors to my mom she had informed me the vegetables will not be sweet after you have planted it.
