Comments (24)I just moved to Tujunga/Sunland, close to you San Fernando folks. Currently, we have about 2 Japanese sweet potato vines, the tubers should be about ready to harvest. Just planted some mizuna, daikon and napa cabbage, along with other salad greens. In florida, I grew red shiso (perilla), malabar spinach (basella alba) and asian winged bean. The malabar spinach and shiso should do OK in this climate, but not sure about the asian winged bean, as I am up in the foothills and we get frosts up here. Would be happy to trade malabar spinach or winged bean seeds for other asian vegetables. If I get the shiso established, then I can trade those seeds too....See MoreAsian Vegetable Books: Your faves?
Comments (3)Blueberrier, I haven't seen your books. I feel like I'm in a backwater here . . . well, I know I am. There were 2 books on Asian vegetables/gardening that inspired me, years ago. They aren't my "go to" books because I kind of feel that I've "gone past them" these days. Still, reading them prompted me to try new things. The first was Better Vegetable Gardens the Chinese Way by Peter Chan. I read that about the same time I was reading about Bio-Dynamic/French Intensive gardening. That was about 35 years ago. Peter Chan seemed to simplify all that other stuff and I kind of never looked back. Well, I suppose I did by staying at least partly with matrix- and inter-planting in raised beds. The other book, I came across much later: Oriental Vegetables: The Complete Guide for the Gardening Cook, by Joy Larkcom. That book showed me that there was quite a wide world of vegetables and I was really limiting my gardening and diet by not exploring it. digitSteve...See MoreAsian vegetable plants from 2007--Okra
Comments (21)Grrrrrrrrrrr I wished I had growing weather like Sail and Lolly. I'm over here in Alameda. Brrrrrrrrr as my BF calls it...Artic Alameda. We get the winds from the bay. Hahahahha. He's so funny. Chaman how is the harvest coming along? Okay here I am begging for next year. Anybody have some Indian veggie seeds to share? I've been going to the Indian grocery too too often these days. I would like to grow methi, drumstick tree, gongura, and anything else interesting. I wonder if drumstick tree can fruit if it is stunted?? I've been buying the frozen ones. I wanted to grow chole but now TJ's carry's frozen green ones! I will attempt okra once more. I grew them 2 years ago but I was traveling alot then and often they go without water for a bunch of days. I would love to have a curry tree but I find the leaves often at 99 Ranch. I just pop them in the freezer. I have SharkFin Melon seeds if anybody is interested. The Chinese have used it for it's hypoglycemic properties for a long time....See MoreMystery Asian vegetable - help needed please
Comments (2)Given your location, my guess would be cardoon, which prospers in the Pacific Northwest. Check the photo in the link below. Here is a link that might be useful: Cardoon...See MoreViolet_Z6
