Now with most of the cash crop such as tomatoes, brinjal, okra gone, and no replanting (for I am now away and can only occasionally visit the farm) one plant made a debut - I think the sapling was from Zie's garden? To the uninitiated, the Ulam Raja's shoot is good to go with budu or belacan (of course with rice and fried fish too). I have not heard it being cook though. Mostly taken on its own or made part of proper 'ulam' (mixed with other herbs and grated coconut and mashed grilled fish).
The plants grows among the (used to be tall) grass. The plant is quite sturdy and propagate easily. In no time it normally spread all over the area. The picture is not quite clear, as it was high noon - the only time I can spare in the farm...
Mmmmm yummy! The young shoot...
Its small pink flowers are irresistably beautiful... Enjoy the rest of the pictures, high noon or not...
