A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2004 Warmest hi from Indonesia... help please

Hi everybody
I'm Diah from Indonesia and I'm 29 yo.
I've only taken up gardening 4 months ago by planting tomatoes from seeds I bought at a supermarket. Some of them are growing wonderfully and are about 20-30 cm tall now
A month after the tomatoes I progressed to Zinnia "Green Envy", Salvia "Dwarf Scarlet", and Amaranthus "Flying Colours".
They're slower than tomatoes (Zinnias are much faster than the other two, though) and I broke most of the Zinnias while transplanting them

Since I live in Indonesia (right at the equatorial zone), I've been searching the web for tropical perennials and how to best grow them, but it's not easy to find them.
Can anybody help me on this?
Dozens of thanks for you.
DIAH

Hi, Diah!

See how addicting gardening is?
And, it's so great having an addiction that doesn't hurt you!
(I guess maybe you could get hurt by "Gardening and Driving" at the same time, if you're like me and keep looking at every pretty yard you pass and stop paying attention to the ROAD!)

Welcome to the forum!

It's very nice to meet you!

Hi Diah..welcome to the group!

i am sitting here,in Canada, with a sort of sadness in my heart. Today i put my garden to bed for the winter. i cut back some of my perrenials, mulched my beds, and turned my veggie garden.

and here you are...keen as anything, planting color and fruits! wow!! i think if you keep contributing to the boards..it will make our winter seem less dreary!

so please let us know how your things grow, and fill us in with all the colorful details! leave us with good images!

good to meet you, and have fun!

thank you for your warm welcome
i'll try and post their pics when they're in bloom but i think it won't be for another two months or more right?
