It's still overcast and rainy in Seattle (the way it's been the last 6 months...). I've been meaning to start an indoor herb garden but the lack of sunlight is discouraging. Maybe I should get one of those AeroGarden thingies. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-82525180024196386202007-03-31T13:29:00.000-07:002007-03-31T13:29:00.000-07:00Oh how I heart Sorrel (rau chua)!!

Luckily, my parents' backyard is full of it (in addition to xa or lemongrass, spearmint, giap ca (did I spell that right?), and fruit trees galore: Asian pear, pomegranate, nectarine and plum!

My family also has a garden, but up here in the Bay Area, there is no room. :(<BR/><BR/>I love gardening and can just stay outside and look at the little sprouts all day! When I see them, I think, "I helped to do that!"<BR/><BR/>IPassionate Eaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492203392706191554noreply@blogger.com
