Turmeric Flowers

October 2012.  Just noticed more turmeric "buds" growing.  They are really unusual in the way they form so decided to do a separate post about them... (it seems they all form on the side which is in the shade for some reason - not sure why)..

Mid Autumn

September 2012.  Summer was tough on my plants... many typhoons meant many scorching days with terribly polluted air (it goes very hazy whenever there are typhoons in the region)... I lost a lot of plants... my lovely chilli padi and conical chilli plants, both the thymes.  Sniff... many of the plants are just recovering now.

Basils

May 2012.  Basils are great to grow because they are so easy to look after and can be propagated by off cuts. I started growing some sweet basil and basil neapolitan from seeds last year and loved their aroma. Because they grow so easily, they have multiplied over and over and I've started having to give the leaves away when I do a major pruning....

May 2012.  Here's what's growing in the balcony at the moment (apart from the basils):
