More Lemon grass!

Going back to my garden. Today, I want to talk about my lemon grass(es).

I'm really amazed with nature. Who would thought I'd have full grown bushes of lemon grass in my backyard now. All I did was bury the discarded stalks with the roots. It has just been 6 months. But I now have a number of healthy bushes and more are growing! Let me show you their pictures







I want lots of lemon grass because we heavily use it for cooking. Our broths and stews are not complete without it. I enjoy drinking it as tea too. Particularly when my menses is about to come. I just boil it together with ginger and drink it on an empty stomach! In minutes my morning sickness is zapped!

I also fancy about making lemon-grass-aromatherapy-oil by myself. I can't wait to grow more than enough for cooking and tea so that I can soon try it!

But first things first. That is to fill the corners with lemon grass first!
