Thai gardening

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I have a couple of new plants this year that are going great so far, and they’re both for my interest in Thai cooking - a lime tree (Citrofortunella mitis) and lemongrass (I also have Thai basil, but forgot to take a picture - soon). Note to me: Here’s a post from Kalyn’s Kitchen on freezing herbs that includes several recipes using Thai basil.

We decided to plant one lemongrass in the ground and one in a pot, to see if it will withstand the winter here, which is usually pretty mild.
