Ajarnlin's Patio garden

Created on Sunday, 15 Jun 08

Trying again to grow a garden on my Bangkok patio. I think I may have a bit of a black thumb, but I’ve had some success with sunflowers, marigolds and several basil varieties. A few grape vines, a pomegranate tree and a whole lot of weeds have managed to stay alive for about a year here. (I’ve taken some long trips and had less than reliable people care for the plants as well.) But, what I really want are tomatoes and I’m trying again with some seeds that are supposed to be good in Florida and southern Italy. So far, I’ve had one tomato in two years and countless yellow flowers that fall off the vines. Wish me luck!
