My grandparents had all of those plants. It bought back many happy memories of playing in their garden as a child.

Love this video and this is one beautiful garden. Just want to share one of my favorite dishes: minced up the lemongrass, (the part near the root) stir fry together with garlics , onions add sirloin steak (make sure you slice the beef thinly), salt, pepper and soy sauce, serve with steam rice or brown rice. Quick and tasty!

+Kim Luu That sounds so good! We'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

Lemongrass has a pretty good reputation for repelling mosquitoes. I grow it for cooking, but even if you plant this pretty, tall grass near an outdoor sitting area, it could help your evenings be a little more bug free. It also handles container planting very well. In terms of cooking, if you're a fan of hot and sour soup, a Thai version of that is Tom Yum soup, which primarily consists of lemongrass and chili. It has a nice balance of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy, which Thai cooking is notorious for.

+Kimberly Cabanas We may have to give this recipe a try! Sounds yummy! Thanks for watching.

Lemon grass or tanglad is native here in the Philippines and also the Taru or gabi. Tanglad is my favorite specially when it adds to a chicken soup. And the taru or gabi we usually cook it here with coconut milk and same as the leaves and stems of it we called laing with lots of chilis on it, it is one of the special dishes of Bicol region here in my country. And that kind of spinach vine or Alugbati that also a native here, I love to cook it with monggo beans and pork soup... Thank you for sharing 😍

Malabar is one of my faves. Typically, we just saute it together with a little ground beef, mushrooms then just add salt and pepper to taste. From Philippines here. ^_^

+Rawnizer That's what we like to hear! Thanks for watching!

Steve, you can cut one stalk and plant in a pot, individually, you dont have to bunch it up taking the roots with it. It will grow roots by itself. Annie Malaysia

[@OKGardeningClassics]

Hannah Daniel Thank for the tip and thanks for watching!

[@wenabillones8892]

Yes Hannah true, even if already stored in the ref it will still got roots when you dip it on a water for few days. That what i did when back in Denmark when I bought few lemongrass in asian store 😊 have a nice day.

[@jacobeksor6088]

I’m Montagnard indigenous live in North Carolina , I miss Asian vegetables .

[@DivergentMoon]

I lost my first lemon grass to frost, but the next one got as big as Steve's and did not completely die and came back in the spring just as strong. San Antonio, Texas, so no heavy snow or deep freeze.

[@kemangi8893]

Hi Steve, that is a very nice garden and what you do is great! I am Indonesian, I grow some of those herbs in my small garden here but in about two months we have to move to Austria, sad...i have to leave my garden and say good bye to my pandanus, kaffir lime, lemon grass and some other herbs. Btw, i would like to ask you whether it is possible or not to grow those such herbs in Vienna? Thank you very much....waiting for your answer...

[@OKGardeningClassics]

kemangi This may help answer your question! www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/SavoryHerbs/SavoryHerbs.html

[@kemangi8893]

hi! thank a lot for the info. It's my fault that i didn't mention of what herbs i intend to grow so that you gave me that above information which for of course will be very useful for me since i am very interesting in growing any kind of herbs but specifically what i mean is how to grow south east Asian herbs such as turmeric, galangal, ginger, lemon grass, kaffir lime and some other asian herbs in Austria, Is it possible ? and how to do when the climate gets cold and colder? once again, thank you for your answer.

[@OKGardeningClassics]

If you're able we recommend a greenhouse or growing them inside near a window, so they'll be able to still receive sunlight.

[@kemangi8893]

thank a lot for your answer. i wish i will have a green house there one day, for the time being i'll be happy just to see them growing well near my kitchen window. i'll inform you when it happens.

[@khm2128]

Maybe you can even grow them in your house. I have a friend who grows citrus, banana & mushrooms in his house. Plus he gardens outside. I imagine you will be very happy in Vienna, kemangi.

[@m1ghtn0riz]

Oh my god . Im struggling growing lemon grass and i am wondering how you make it bigger..

[@WENG4898]

boil the lemon grass together with crushed ginger add some honey afterwards, you'll have a delicious aromatic tea.

[@OKGardeningClassics]

Thanks for the tip! Also, thanks for watching!

We actually use Malabar Spinach as one of the herb for cooking our chicken stock especially for women after delivery to boost their strength.

[@debrahromeo8961]

we eat the leaves too

In Hawaii we are careful to differentiate Elephant Ears from Taro/Kalo because you would have to cook Alocasia/Elephant Ears for a week to get rid of the oxalic acid crystals (if then), whereas Colocasia/Taro is the stable crop used for food throughout Asia and the Pacific. It would be good to make a point of that. I notice on the continental U.S., people often use the terms interchangeably since it's not their "homey" food, and as is the reality with common names, but confusing and could get one into trouble trying to eat Elephant Ears.
