So some new additions have come about with the New Year, will just have to see how they turn out. Managed to get some dates, a dragon fruit seedling and I was amazed in this climate that an apple seedling would grow, will just have to see how well it will actually do!

Fallen trees on the road up to the abandoned resort at Laem Thian Bay

So during the break for Christmas I managed to venture on a few hikes and see some parts of Koh Tao inaccessible by transport, largely lovely and peaceful, but some tricky parts where the road has largely washed away.  Wish I could I have snapped some picture of all the butterflies, but they always seemed to be out focus. Here along the path there were fallen trees, and a small archway to get through.

So below are how the plants are getting along, as you can see they all seem to doing well at the moment.

Eggplant/Aubergine Seedlings

Could not believe the size that the aubergine plants had grown to in 2 weeks away, guessing that keeping them in such a small pot for so long was not doing them any good, but also guessing that the addition of some compost helped! 

Sweet Chilies

Ginger Plants

 These plants were also doing really well, was nervous that 2 weeks away would mean that they would all be dead, but at least the sweet chilies did ok.











The Ginger is going from strength to strength and the re potting with compost seems to have really helped.

Mango and Ginger

Tomatoes and Sweet Chilies

Unfortunately the one casualty from my trip away was the mango :(  I did dig it up and found that the pod was overrun with tiny white mites, not sure where they came from or the best course of action, but due to the crazy amount of mangoes here, I will try again, at least the ginger plant seems to be doing well.






Tomatoes and Sweet chilies still all doing well, just wondering how long it will take before they start producing flowers and then fruit!

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

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!
