Seeds seeds and more seeds!

Last weekend I went to NTUC to get stuff for cooking oxtail stew. Couldn't resist getting a pack of lemon balm and mint seeds.

Now... these are the usual pink herb packets from Singapore Horti Flora. I bought the mint only because it read (mentha x piperita) aka Peppermint! But a few days later I came across forums and even wiki stating: "Being a hybrid, it is usually sterile, producing no seeds and reproducing only vegetatively". Like OMG @#%$#^#$^@#. Luckily it's only $1.50 for the pack. I'm guessing it'll be the same as the mint I bought from Far East Flora as per my previous post. I'll just sow it anyway and time will tell.

Also having failed 2 times in Basil life sustenance and 0 success in stem cuttings... I decided to peek around for seeds and ended up with a herb seed buffet:

Sage
Thyme (Old English)
Fennel
Coriander Confetti
Oregano
Basil Sweet Genovese
Basil Lime
Basil Lemon

each pack about $2++ from ebay

I've gotta clear out the pots .... lol!
