Earlier this spring I saw a rack of seeds at Uwajimaya sporting lots of veggie seeds for (to me) more unusual vegetables used in Asian cuisine. I was so intrigued, and wished I had more room to be creative!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509171539925075234.post-49070150127958364472014-06-19T10:59:30.388-07:002014-06-19T10:59:30.388-07:00I am keeping track of everything and then will be ...I am keeping track of everything and then will be reporting my experience (success/failure) in the fall.

I will see how it does and then how it tastes (for chewing). I have never heard of anybody cooking off cane to make syrup. Seems like a lot of work/mess for something I can buy cheaply, but it might be an interesting experience just once. Hopefully I can find someone in my neighborhood that would like to use it, otherwise it will be Halloween decorations!Matthew - The Lents Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322893329475944946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509171539925075234.post-73229977055769789742014-06-18T18:06:44.255-07:002014-06-18T18:06:44.255-07:00My neighbor has cane growing.

I know people who chew cane (syrup cane and sorghum, too). I think it is an acquired taste. If you can find someone who cooks off cane, sorghum makes tasty gingerbread.<br /><br />Sorghum is worth growing just for the tropical effects.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509171539925075234.post-71940231217582231202014-06-17T08:23:35.240-07:002014-06-17T08:23:35.240-07:00This is so cool!
