someone sent me some seeds, one seed germinated, and it was growing. then those evil pill bugs ate those two leaves. i then moved it to a sunny spot, it just died on me.

so i am seedless now.

who has more? i suppose that i can paypal you one stamp money, you can just put some seeds in an envelope.

thanks.

After a bit of research I found out that his seed is the Balsam Pear aka Balsam Apple aka Momordica balsamina. Three people on the Dave's Garden website have it for trade.
