January 2013. Going to Sydney and Brisbane in our summer, their winter, made me realize that my concept of our cold season in Hong Kong in terms of the herbs was all wrong! This is the problem with having grown up in the tropics! So I realized that with our relatively mild winters, I should be thinking of this time of year as the growing season not the dormant season. I realize too that looking back on my blogs from a year ago that this was the time when the eggplants and tomatoes were all fruiting, much to my surprise then. Sadly I have given up with those veggies as the amount of space they took up on my balcony in proportion to the amount of fruit they produced was not justifiable. They also looked rather unsightly most of the time. So I decided to major on herbs....
