    You harvested the lemon grass perfectly. You don't have to peel the stalk. I just take a little bit off if it looks brown/dry, otherwise I just use the whole stalk as is, no peeling. You can use the stalk whole or cut to desired lengths as it fits in your pot or bottle.

    I trim and dry lemongrass throughout the growing season. I usually don't harvest the root until the very end of the season and or as needed. It's actually a cut and come again plant.

  • @susanh2610

    I don’t know anything about lemon grass, but my son uses it in cooking. He used it in a stir fry. The stalk was still green and he just sliced the stalk up crosswise in little pieces. You couldn’t eat it because it was too hard, but it added a really good lemon flavor. I don’t think he had a recipe, but he had a college roommate who was from Singapore, who taught him a lot of oriental cooking. Hope this helps. Even if it’s not used medicinally, it’s still a good way to use what you have.

Learning about the herbs and how they can be used to help us. I love all the sponsored content that you have included with your videos.

    I made mullein tincture. The directions I followed said to use one of those glass pucks (like they use in fermenting food) to keep the green mullein under the alcohol to avoid mold growth. I’m new at this too! So much to learn!

    I've just seen some of those wasps out, as well. I call them "ground wasps" because I think they make their nests in the ground. They are small and do look like bees, but they are carnivores. I know because I have seen them eating some of my outdoor cat's canned food. I've also seen them--just today, in fact, killing some of the Giant Swallowtail caterpillars on my citrus trees. Those are cool, btw, because they look like bird poop, but they are actually caterpillars. Anyway, I felt bad, but I figured that it's Nature's way of keeping the population in check and keeping the caterpillars from decimating my citrus trees.

    Thanks so much for sharing. I am very interested and hope to also begin my journey with medicinal herbs and when you read the medicinal properties of rosemary, it sounded like the perfect tincture for me to start with. I do have small jars and may just barely have enough rosemary to get started with. 😊

    Hi Asia, hoping that you are well. You inspired me to grow Marshmellow...I winter sowed it and it did wonderfully. It is a perenniaI in my region so I will harvest the roots next year with the hope that the roots will be larger. I grew lemon grass, dehydrated the leaves and made tea. It was delicious. You have inpired me to try a rosemary tincture! Lastly, I was channeling Asia vibes when I dug up plants and relocated them : ) Here's to continued growth for your channel. Almost at 40K.....🎉
