Gassy's Bits n Pieces 2015

So, thought I would start a glog of all the other plants I got growing that are not chilli. Still love chilli to bits and all but I've kinda shifted my focus onto other stuff for now. Wanna learn to grow some new/different plants, experience specific herbs in all their variations, and yeah, stuff like that. I will probs end up posting what chilli I am growing here too. It seriously ain't gonna be heaps and I don't know if it'll be worth starting two glogs. But yeah, enough babble...
 
Started some Ocimum basillicum from seed. I'm heaps into most Basils, so yeah, only makes sense to grow a bunch of different ones to try.
 
Ocimum basillicum 'Red Bordeaux'
 

 
Ocimum basillicum 'Red Rubin'
 

 
Ocimum basillicum 'Cinnamon'
 

 
Ocimum basillicum 'Genovese'
 

 
Ocimum basillicum 'Bosollo Napoletano'
 

 
Ocimum basillicum 'Blue Spice'
 

 
Ocimum basillicum 'Lemon Mrs Burns'
 

 
And will be starting a whole bunch more soon... some African types, Tulsi types, that sort of thing. Getting heaps excited just thinking about it.
 
Misc Rosmarinus officinalis (back row - not from seed), Coriandrum sativum (from seed) and Hyssopus officinalis (from seed)
 

 
(Rosemary, let me see... 'Golden' (the twig haha), unknown?, 'Tuscan Blue' and 'Blue Lagoon'.
 
I have a thing for Rosemary. I find her scent to be almost euphoric. (yeah... I'm big on sniffing plants haha)

Some more stuff...
 
Salvia elegans 'Pineapple Sage'
 

 
Centella asiatica 'Gotu Kola' (in the sickos corner 'cause it gone a bit spotty and blotchy and I dunno...)
 

 
Camellia sinensis 'Tea Plant'
 

 
Ilex paraguariensis 'Yerba Mate'
 

 
Backhousia citriodora 'Lemon Myrtle'
 

 
Withania somnifera 'Ashwagandha' (Indian and African)
 

 
And some chilli...
 
C. annuum 'Maui Purple'
 

 
Some new starts

Very nice indeed!

Nice herbies but we are scrolling down in search of your peppers

Cheers guys!
 
Alice! How are you and what's been happening in the chilli garden? Yeah, not sure what's going on but I have very little motivation to grow chillies, ATM. Every time I think I get the spark back, I start some seeds, but then quickly lose steam and the poor little buggers end up dying from neglect. Guess the challenges the environment here brings have taken their toll on the old psyche. That being said, I've managed to push myself to push through on some select hybrids, and while they ain't looking great right now (due to prior neglect ), they are in some nice new soil now and recieving *some* care, so hopefully will have something to show you a little down the track....
 
Damn, totally forgot I started this glog. Will have to get some more piccies and stuff up later!

Hey Gassy.. nice to touch base!  My season went really well but alas I was too busy on FB & admiring my own growth to come here
Sow some seeds now and the Growlog is a list in progress although I really like to limit it to no more than 50s (everytime) but ended up a lot more     
Maybe I just may start a new topic of my growlog and keep it up with progress... ummh I don't know if I can commit!!
 
I used new soil+peat moss last season for all plants and somehow eliminated aphids problems (maybe its due to the diatomaceous earth )
Fruit flies gave me a bit of problems plus possum thieves
