Plants at Mahogany Market

After three long years, I finally got to visit Mahogany Market again. It was a spur of the moment trip, so I didn't really plan to buy plants. I'm also overwhelmed with caring for what's left of my Moms plants and only got what I could commit to.

Mahogany Market looked the same. No major structure changes. It's better organized now I noticed. Fruits on the ground floor of the market structure. Veggies on the second floor and other items (like souvenirs and dry goods) in a separate building. I noticed though the plant stalls are less than what it used to be. Maybe some of them transferred to Silang? 

Anyway, with Miggy as my buddy, we went back to where I bought my gumamela plants 3 years ago. They're still alive save for one! I skipped buying a lot of herbs since they don't really survive long. It's better to plant from seed. That way they don't get heat shock when you bring them to Manila. 

I was able to "control" myself and just got some "essentials". Three marigolds, 4 gumamela plants, and mint/parsley and basil. Only 10. Haha. My garden space looks like a jungle now and I can't wait to transfer everything back to my Mom's garden. I'm still planning how that will go. It's many months away, so I'm not rushing. 

I enjoyed going to Mahogany Market. We will probably visit the Silang area one of these days. I don't need more plants at the moment and I seriously need to reduce since it's taking us longer to water the plants. You can just imagine how happy we are when it rains, haha. 

*Plant prices seem to have increased a bit. It was also one reason why I didn't buy that much. Next time I want to find out how much they sell fruit bearing trees. I don't have space for it anymore (haha), since I have 5 avocado trees and one mango tree growing. I want them to grow big!

Got Some Plants at Mahogany Market

We were still newlyweds the last time I bought plants from Mahogany Market.We went to Tagaytay with a friend last week and he wanted to experience what locals do. So after eating lunch we headed to Mahogany Market. We missed the turn and didn't realize we should have turned at the corner of the Hall of Justice (it's a great landmark!). 

We didn't recognize the place since it changed a lot. It's more organized and it looks like they removed the building in the area where they sell plants. It's now a huge parking lot and it's easier to walk around to look at the different stalls selling plants.

I promptly got confused on what to buy. It was a last minute decision to go to Tagaytay, so I didn't have a list of what I wanted to buy. I knew though I wanted to get some herbs and plants that were hard to grow from seed.  I ended up getting a couple of herbs and got several gumamela (hibiscus) plants on a whim.

 

I was so excited I forgot to take more photos. We stuck to one shop since I felt it would be dangerous for my wallet to check out other shops (too much budol!), hahaha. I also want to go back. I just want to prove first to myself that the plants I bought would live!
