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)

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....
