After My Return

So after returning back from my travels, I was relieved that most of my plants seems to be doing ok, however Thailand's hot season does seem to be taking it's toll on quite a few, and the rest are being constantly attacked by mealy bugs.

Before I Go Travelling

So just as some of the fruit I have been growing is starting to ripen and get ready for eating, I am off on travels for 3 weeks. My Boyfriend has been left in charge of watering duties - and eating the produce, will be interesting to see what state the plants are in when I get back.....

Some things Growing, some things Dying

So the aphids started on the aubergine/eggplants and have now moved onto the chilli peppers and capsicums. Luckily the tomatoes are being quite hardy, and the aubergine eggplants are starting to fight back!
