Before our Jaunt to Bali...


Before our Jaunt to Bali...

A quick update of how the plants looked before I abandoned them to go to Bali for 10 days, it was fingers crossed to hope that it would rain enough whilst I was gone and would not kill them all.

Ginger Plants

After the House Move


After the House Move


Koh Tao Snake who tried to gate crash our Barbecue

Just another Quick up date on how the plants were doing once we moved house.


Sweet Chili and Capsicum



Capsicum and Garlic


Pretty Flowers
The capsicums are doing well, and growing up and outwards.













These were from Seed bought from Aukotan, but since we lost the packet, I have no idea what they are, but thought it was nice to post something in bloom!









Tomato Plants


So the tomatoes are doing well, and the sweet chilis in the bamboo have exploded into action!

Re-potting Madness

Re-potting Madness


Ok, so a little behind in the updates, but a few more postings to follow shortly...

Here are so pictures of me re-potting before we moved house.


Lizard Sunbathing in Koh Tao

Garlic, Capsicum and Sweet Chili

Tomatoes and Sweet Chili

Mango Seedling
Adding together the Garlic, some capsicums and sweet chili plants, lets see how they all grow together.












So I separated out the tomato plants to help them grow a little bit better, and added some more sweet chili seeds to the bamboo container.










And here is another shot of the mango seedling.

Before the Monsoon Hits


The Sun is Shining before Monsoon begins.....



Sairee Beach Palm Tree with Long Tail Boats

Garlic just keeps on growing
Ginger, now with two sprouts

Was amazed at how quickly the Garlic is taking, and how quickly it is shooting up, not to mention lots of roots. One of the benefits with the plastic containers is you get to see the root system growing.
Citrus Trees, note the couple of new sprouts

Lemon Tree Sprouts










The Ginger on the right seemed to die and wither away, but then burst back into life with a new shoot. Guess the message is that even if it looks like your ginger is dying, it is likely to bounce back, may just take some time.







The citrus trees are doing well, and was happy that some extra lemon seeds that I planted about a week before started to burst into life. These do not grow very quickly, but it is nice to see how far they have come.











These are definitely lemon sprouts, think the above ones are too, but planted a mixture of lemon and lime seeds, so will probably never know..

Just won't stop Growing


Just Won't Stop Growing




Thunderbolt and Lightning Koh Tao
Ok, so this isn't a picture of plants, was just extremely happy to actually capture a lightening bolt!

Ginger Sprouting and romping ahead

So the ginger is going through a real growth spurt, and I'm so glad that i have managed not to kill it yet!












Spring Onions grown from offcuts

Capsicum seedlings in their new pot
So these were grown from the offcuts of spring onions, was amazed at how quickly the roots took and how quickly they start shooting up.











The capsicum bell pepper seedlings took very well to their new bigger pot.












Garlic Sprout after 5 days


After our garlic seemed to be growing a life of it's own in our fridge, I decided to pop some cloves into soil and see what happened, and it sprouted and shot up really quickly.
