I have 5 pots of lemon grass -- one of them is labeled EAST INDIAN LEMON GRASS and I believe I got it at Home Depot or something like that. I rotate them, one at a time onto the porch so that my cat, Karma, can enjoy them. She LOVES Lemon Grass. But I just cannot keep up with her.
She prefers the Lemon Grass shoots when they are new before they get tougher -- wouldn't we all. The East Indian Lemon Grass is a shorter finer variety and I think it would be better because of this. But haven't seen any more.
I have an awesome green house, heated etc just not too sure about the amount of sun I get back there especially this time of year -- BUT our weather hasn't been too terrible. I'm in Melrose -- slightly north of G'ville -- how 'bout them GATORS!?
Any suggestions on how best to keep up with my Karma? I feel terrible watching her pull at the scraggly little nubs of nothing and knowing that the pots in the herb garden haven't got much better. :( I've brought other herbs in and offered them to her -- she's just not interested.
