Anybody grow Asian herbs? I just bought some galangal and lemon grass from Amazon,put some in a few pots for the greenhouse,will have some for Tom Yum this weekend.
I've grown lemon grass in AZ from grocery store. Never tried growing galangal. I'd also like to try a bunch of Vietnamese herbs. I only have seeds for red perilla and basil. Wondering about growing some of the other Asian herbs,either in the greenhouse or outdoors.
We live in a very small town,no Asian stuff in the stores besides basics. I need to grow anything I'd like to use that I used to get at huge Asian groceries in AZ.
