Of course, why not?

Awesome!

I’m making a list of plants that grow well in full sun, because my planter boxes will be in the sun most of the day.

Other than Aeon supermarket and Bayon mart, where can I buy seeds or even seedlings?

Also, I will be transplanting some tomato plants over the weekend, would anyone like one? I will have a lot more than I need.

Orussey Market has a bunch of stalls selling seeds - but I don't know if it's all tomatoes, veges etc or if they have decorative/non edibles as well.

Last time I was there they also stocked some companion plant seeds, but not a wide range of decoratives.

When I last went there (about 2 years ago alas)there was a huge variety of decorative exotics being sold from 3-4 stalls. You must however look for the expiry date; they apparently aren't big movers. Ever notice how dull most decorative flower gardens are?
