(1) The autumn-winter season (September-January), when vegetables such as lettuce, beets, carrots, onions and parsley can be grown.

(2) The spring-summer season (February-August), which is too hot for vegetables, but when a variety of tropical fruits such as melons, pumpkins, peppers, avocados, papayas and eggplants can grow.

As the purchase of commercial seeds is too expensive, we ask that you send us the seeds from the fruits and the vegetables that you and your family use at home.

Simply follow the five steps listed below;

1. Rinse the seeds with water.
2. Allow the seeds to dry on a plate (not on a piece of paper as paper sticks to the seeds).
3. When dry, sort the seeds by species and place them in an envelope.
4. Label each envelope with it's appropriate species name.
5. Mail them to the address below.
