The first place we look for seeds is supermarket. Then garden centers. Then plant souks. Then probably online. And then? Well I thought that was it. It turns out it's not. Then there's agriculture supply shops. I stumbled across some in Khawaneej. And last week I found another one in Sharjah. This one is different because it doesn't carry the known brands and they has all seeds you can think of. But their prices are not cheap. The prices start at 10 dhs, not your average 5 dhs per packet we are used to, and go upwards of 40 dhs. They have like tiers of prices. Basically all the ones on the lower shelves are for 10 dhs. You can find same variety in different tiers. I asked what is the difference and the salesman explained that the more expensive ones are more disease resistant. I wasn't convinced convinced because I got scared it could be GMO.

Sharjah residents you could be in for a treat. I took my kids for a workshop in Sharjah yesterday and met a few wonderful ladies there. It turns out they were also into gardening, isn't it a small world after all? Anyways as we were chatting I found out from them that Sharjah residents are entitled to free plants from Sharjah municipality. Isn't it cool? I wished I lived in Sharjah just for that (don't get me wrong I like Sharjah anyways, I lived there for 7 years with my parents).
