World's worst gardener has success!

I have a not entirely undeserved reputation for being something of a mediocre gardener. 

I happily admit to being enthusiastic, but totally lacking in skill when it comes to horticulture of any kind.  This rosemary plant is a more typical example of what happens when I attempt to grow my dream apartment garden.


We have a sunny window sill in our kitchen and fresh herbs are sometimes very difficult to find in Korea, so I am persisting in my efforts to grow something.  I bought a bag of chilli seeds and planted them with very little expectation that any plant would actually result. 

However, the little green shoots appeared.  And grew, and grew.  And after a little while, there even appeared some actual factual chillis!

We have so far hauled in a mighty harvest of five chillis.  A little longer and I'll have grown enough to feed us through the long, cold winter.  Well, perhaps not that, but I am somewhat pleased with my small success.  I've even managed to get some lemongrass going...
