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.

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.

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!

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.

Just won't stop Growing

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.
