Harvest Monday Oct. 24, 11

This week we harvested green tomatoes for a salsa batch Belle plans to make this week. Kale went into a quiche, and we harvested green beans, jalapenos and one leek. Belle also brought our lemon grass plant inside for the winter and harvested several stocks for an essential oil recipe she's working on.

    I miss our jalapenos! I think we tore them out too soon. Oh well...I'll live vicariously through you and yours ;-) Great harvests this week! Congrats!

    Wow, that is some big lemon grass! Do you plant it in the ground, or in a container? I have ours in large pots but I am thinking it could spend the summer in the ground.

    Ginny, we're sure thankful the bit that we're still getting.

    Bee Girl, thanks. Our jalapenos were our best pepper producing plants this year, no question.

    Dave, we got the plant last year from a friend. It barely survived the winter indoors. We planted it in the ground on the south side of the house where there's lots of sunlight.

    That is fantastic lemongrass. It has also reminded me that I really need to move mine - It doesn't get nearly enough sun. How large a pot do you grow it in?

    Thanks Liz. We hardly expected it; We grow it in a pot in the winter. During the summer its in the ground. The winter pot is at least 3 gallons.
