11/19/2024 lemongrass

I haven’t been good at blogging lately but Paula rightly insisted I document her harvest!

This giant lemongrass grew from a single stalk that Paula planted this spring. the thick stalks are useful for cooking and the dried leaves make a lemony tea in hot water.
As she rinsed off the soil from the tangled lemongrass roots, she found several bright pale knotty tubers of Helianthus tuberosa. These sunchokes were growing next to the lemongrass and both were having a party!
