The cats are so cute and entertaining 😂🌝👍
I also grew some lemongrass, but it is very small. Was wondering why you trim off the couple inches near the bottom of the grass. Is it really too tough to cut up? Is it dirty? Or does not have any flavor? Thank you for showing me how to process this and try to replant the rootball. Gonna try that!!
Your cats are so silly and cute!!
Beautiful lemon grass. Love that plant and they do grow big. The smell is amazing. It is good as a seasoning with sautéed beef over rice. Glad to see you are making extra hibiscus plants. Such great color on the property. It would be good to plant those all over like a hedge of color. Cheers.
Love the video!!!!
The lemongrass out of the pot looks like a cow's udder. Maybe you should try "milking" it. It might put out lemon juice!
Wow that's a lot of lemongrass for tea! Love your hibiscus too. Hope you are not in the path of the coming hurricane dumping lots of rain on everyone from Florida thru the Ohio Valley in coming days but prepare as you can. Sending prayers to all those getting ready and hope for minimal damage. Stay safe everyone..
Nice lemon grass. Do you have a video on making lemon hrass tea after the blades dehydrate? Spot and BJ are beautiful cats. Thank you for sharing.
My new in-ground patch of veggies has a few sprouts up. Am using it as edible cover crop and yes, it is not a large space. Will be bantam cornfield or melon field next spring if all goes well. I also am going to hopefully enjoy produce. Oh and my 3 tomato fruits continue to grow so that is good in spite of it being 100 degrees F. today. Glad you have that Lemongrass and the hibiscus for teas and other herbal uses. Nifty! Be encouraged Kaye. Get ready for stormy weather possible remnants of Hurricane Helene – bring in light things that could fly in 30 mph winds and rains (uncertain if it will affect you but weather forecast does indicate a turn to the W. as it comes into the central part of your state).
You have a veritable jungle of very happy plants, Kaye! It must be the shade all around your property because my plants just look beat up from the Sun.Absolutely love the tutorial on Lemongrass. Keep an eye out on wind and rain from Helene!
Hello darlin. I saw lemongrass & had to share my lemongrass story. Lemon grass is used in Brazil extensively including putting it in fresh, to the country's national alcohol, Kashasa. Tea, lemonade, seasoning, & more. Love your work & you. Stay well. 💜☮️☯️💪⚖️🌎🇺🇲
I love lemongrass, and I keep some in my freezer.
Sadly it's not quite hardy enough to survive the Winter here, so I have to start anew each season.
Overwintering yielded a very weak plant come Spring, so it just makes more sense to start over.
Wow! What a great video, Kaye! Thank you for showing us how you deal with the lemongrass! I have never grown it because I wasn't sure what I would do with it. I'd love to see and/or hear all the things you do with yours. And I have a question about your Cranberry Hibiscus: would your methods of pruning work with a Roselle? I want to save mine for next year somehow, partly because it never bloomed 😢 My thought is that bringing it inside or protecting it with a frost cover (or other) would give it a head start on growth next year, and help it to bloom. I grew several from seeds, but only two survived the sunburn. And only one is a big bush, and very healthy.
New comer loving your videos. Angie (lemon grass) suggested you. Friends with her for over 20 years she's the ultimate homesteader.

I was looking for a vid from you today! I need to harvest my lemongrass also. Good to see how you did it. 😊
Helene is heading your way! 🌫🌫🌫🌫🌬🌧🌨🌩🌧
The root portions are good for cooking. The leaves for tea.
Hello Kaye. Excited to learn more about your garden. Angie and her husband have been friends of my for about 18 years. I was in Iraq with her husband. I have a passion for gardens and cooking. You came highly recommended. 👍👍😊😊
The kitties🐈🐈 like your cranberry hibiscus 🌺🌸🌺!!
watching this hurricane closely, hope you get some good footage and stay safe!
I loved this inteview,i was very surprized when Granny said she never heard of tomato cobbler, oh i just love it. I have never made it myself, but my mom and two sisters made it in past years. Its basically stewed tomatoes, bread that is two or three days old and a little sugar and maybe a stick or two of butter. Stirred all up together and baked in the oven on theee fifty. It is really good when someone can make it right. You can even add onions if you like.🙏❤️🙂
