It’s been a while since I updated everyone on my gardening. We have recently moved to Bangkok, hence the silence.  Don’t worry, I am still traveling to Singapore frequently for my regular Korean classes and events.

I haven’t quiet figured out what will grow well here as the weather in Bangkok is hot! hot! hot! but certainly not as humid as Singapore. My balcony  is about 3 times bigger than what I used to have and I even have a tap which will come handy for watering all my babies… 

 

My first project for the new balcony garden is to find good soil and compost. If anyone can recommend a good nursery in Bangkok, please drop me a line!!!

 

Actually, the best part of the balcony is the view. One side has the concrete jungle of central Bangkok and the other side is a beautiful park with a lake!

 

 

Meanwhile, I have received lots of emails from my readers with questions on gardening and some great photos of their own gardens. Thanks to everyone who has contributed and congratulations on your successes.

Here are some photos from a balcony garden enthusiast who mastered growing kai lan – Chinese brocoli.  It looks big enough to stir fry for the whole family! Well done!

 

 

Here is some Choy Sum – did you know this vegetable is a member of the Mustard family??

 

 

These tomato seedlings need a new home! Too crowded…I hope they were  re-potted shortly afterwards.

 

 

 

Finally, these are photos from my mother-in-laws farm in Australia. They have variety of vegetables and fruit growing and  13 cows and a few calves running around along with chickens and chicks. Their farm has been designed for self-sustainability, so they only grow what they need. If there is a surplus at harvest time, they will barter their crops with other local farmers. What a great life!!
