Lemon Grass and Friends

Only about 1/3 of all the lemon grass that my brother planted alive healthy. One of the easiest to grow, however, the other 2/3 didn't grow well because he planted it under the big tree which deprieved the lemon grass of direct sunlight.


The initial single stalk propagate at fast speed, and potentially grow bushy to around 50 stalks or more?


Won't be long before harvest, inshaAllah...



We almost have the fragrant "rendang" last raya when Abang Awang mistakenly cut the fragrant grass (serai wangi) instead of the lemon grass. I don't blame him for the two are not much different... hehe. This one is good for boil and showered with - ask Rozi, the smell is heavenly and lingers for a long time in the house...



One of the three surviving pineapple plant. Oh, by the way, Iwan the nephew planted several more the other day...



The "Kantan", I can't wait to see it blooming... Strong flavour and colourful too...
