I'm living in Thailand and always had decorative plants in my front yard. I started growing fruit and other trees in my front yard two years ago after purchasing a plot of land. As soon as the plants are big enough I transfer them to the 'farm'. Growing from seeds makes it possible to get locally hard to find plants from abroad by mail order. There is still much learning involved to grow various plants from seeds with success because not all plants can be grown the same way.
I sometimes have fresh local seeds available (depending on season) which I would give away for free in small quantities for other hobbyists. You will need to take care of Shipping and Handling. Just ask me and I can tell you when I have seeds for a particular species available.
