Exercises in Green Thumbery

After visiting so many incredible homestead gardens across Cambodia over the past two months, I started to crave a little garden time back at my apartment in Phnom Penh. My own green thumb is quite inexperienced; last summer I grew some basil, chives and a tomato plant, that latter of which only yielded two tiny fruit. But with a great deal of enthusiasm from my roommates, planting season has begun in our home. We've potted a few flowering plants, along with several herbs and are even trying for a fruit tree. With rainy season in full force and a plethora of greenery to now call home, a troop of giant snails have moved into our garden space!
