I called a friend who grows lemongrass to ask if I could get a little for a recipe I want to try. She freezes tons of it. She also gave me several lemongass shoots. She told me what to do with them. I have them in water on the back of the sink in front of the window BUT I have already killed a rosemary bush. From what I have read in a week or so when they sprout new roots I should put them into a pot of soil and keep inside til the weather warms. I will pick up a pot and soil this week them take them to Jon's Dads and put them in front of his sliding glass doors where they will get tons of sun.
Anyone else grow lemongrass and have any tips?
I went out to the garden today and was shocked to see my mint and oregano was still alive and green. The leaves had been toughened up by freezing and were a little brown around the edges but still alive lol.

Never really considered the lemon grass Janie but would like to start a pot of mint and possibly oregano this spring. BTW my thyme made it through the winter very well in a 10" pot. I was actually snipping some for soups etc all winter.

Your green thumb is much better than mine lol. I managed to kill a lovely pot of rosemary. Lemongrass is not something I would use much at all either.

My green thumb is no better then yours. I just live a few degrees further down the globe then you do.

I've never thought about growing Lemongrass, so I think I will try a pot. I usually freeze a small amount of chopped and fast frozen for when I cannot get it at my local farmers market. Maybe it will encourage me to do more recipes using it.
