Moon Dog Post . . . We brought Burpee seeds in an effort to grow American vegetables and so far no luck. We've been able to grow the small Philippine tomatoes but when I tried to grow Better Boys or Beefsteak tomatoes the plants died before maturity and I'm puzzled why. We are giving it another try but I'm not hopeful.

I went all in trying to grow Tomatoes & Onions and failed

(1) Purchased two Mars Grow Tents

(2) Purchased two Green Indoor full spectrum LED lights

(3) Purchased many grow bags, 1 gallon, 3 gallon, 5 gallon, 7 gallon & 10 gallon

(4) Purchased Miracle Tomato Food

(5) Purchased 20 bags of Greenwoods Farms Perlite

(6) Purchased 25 bags of Loam Soil

I applied for and received a license for importing seeds (The Requirements)

(1) Letter of intent addressed to Director: George Y Culaste & Attn: Joan-May R. Tolentino, OIC-Chief, NPQSD

(2) BPI Application Form No. 01

(3) Sketch Map of Final Destination

(4) Brgy. Clearance and Business Permit $$$

(5) Xerox Copy of Valid ID

(6) Promissory Letter for inspection for planting site

(7) Pictures of planting site

(8) Payment for permit $$$

Customs

(1) Copy of import license聽 issued by Department of Agriculture

(2) Customs Inspection & clearance

(3) Inspection and Clearance by the Narcotic Agency

(4) Many calls to FedEx trouble shooter in the Philippines, without her help I never would have received clearance.

Imported seeds

(1) Onions: Walla Walla,聽 Vidalia,聽 Yellow Granex &聽 Giant Ailisa Craig Exhibition Onions

(2) Tomatoes: Heirloom Brandywine Pink,聽 Beef Steak,聽 Tiny Tim, &聽 Red Robbin

Domestic tomato seeds

(1) Sweet Princess F1 Cherry Tomato,聽 聽 Avatar TY F1,聽 聽 Mica Red聽 &聽 聽Kinalabasa

Months and months of care. . . .Complete failure.

(1) Plants were grown indoors to have complete control of lighting & temperature.

(2) Since no bee's to pollinate, I used sonic toothbrush to pollinate by vibrating the tomato stems & flowers.

There are two types of tomato plants determinate & indeterminate.

(1) Determinate:聽 Grows to a certain height, produces tomatoes and dies.

(2) indeterminate:聽 Is a vine which will produce & keep producing and grow very very tall.

(1) I've also planted then slices of tomatoes containing the seeds, the tomatoes were purchased locally and they all grew.

(2) I was also able to clone tomato plants from the trimming of branches of the tomato plant.

@whackerdog123 I recall seeing frozen Turkeys in supermarket at Gaisano Country Mall in Cebu City/Banilad. I didn't check the price. I can usually find Celery for about 29 pesos for a pack. Never really looked for Cilantro. For Ham, try Whole Lotta Foods in Lapu-Lapu. They deliver for a fee. I buy Smoked Ham Hocks from them which are great to add to Red (kidney) Beans. I wish I could find some decent Steaks with some marbling fat. Seems like the Australian or New Zealand variety are grass fed cattle and too lean for me. Cannot get the steaks tender no matter how I try to cook them, even with marinating. Good Luck.

@whackerdog123 First of all, there is no such thing as "fresh" meat or fish. Once a creature dies it starts decaying and rotting within about three minutes. And when you eat them you are turning your body into a graveyard. Leonardo Da Vinci said as much " I don't want my body to be a graveyard." I quit eating that crap about twelve years ago and am healthier now. Food is grown. Animals are born to live with their families just like us.聽 I wrote something about going "meat" free.

Pilotdrh price shopped Turkey . . . .

I checked out the turkey at S&R (Lipa City) a few minutes ago. Honeysuckle White is P340 a kilo, P2505 for the one I looked at. They also have butterball, Premium All Natural, P299, P1544 for the slightly over 5 kilo I looked at.

Is there one western brand food item that you crave that much that you would be willing to pay virtually聽 any amount of money for, even if you only buy it once or twice a year?

@FilAmericanMom I Love Gumbo, both Chicken and Sausage or Seafood, but think of it during Cold Weather which doesn't happen here. I am from Louisiana where some of the best Gumbo is cooked. Also, Chicken and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya from Gonzales, Louisiana.

Have you seen the movie The Dead Don't Die? In that movie, zombies would utter the things that they craved when they were still alive. Some said "Xanax," "coffee," "chardonnay." If I were a zombie in that movie, I would probably say "Gumbo." LOL. I love gumbo. I really miss eating it.
