No, it's not about my children. This is about my garden!
I have always wanted to grow my own lemongrass but have failed previously. While in Tasmania last year, I visited the market and there was a stall that sell seeds. I decided to try and grow lemongrass from seeds. We have actually picked and cooked a meal from this home grown plant.

My one and only rockmelon, the rest have been killed by the scorching sun.

This is my Malaysian garden - snake beans and lady finger (okra).
I am keeping the first 2 for seeds. They are about 2 foot long. I got Fay to hold the ruler to indicate the length.
It was very hot for the past few weeks in Melbourne, the bean came out curly, instead of straight.
Now some photos of lady fingers.

| Beans - new season |
I bought the seeds from the same stall in Tasmania, it taste like Asian Kai-Lan, but I prefer the texture of this plant. Still waiting for it to seed. It grows like a bush.
