Subject: RE: Summer 2014 Exercise the right to declutter!
Dorothy, I have papers beginning to make a beachhead in my office. I must fight them back myself. I have a loveseat bench in the sunroon for sitting on to change shoes and it regularly is heaped with things that are coming and going. It's a challenge to keep it free for sitting on.

I've examined the lemongrass stalks I put in water earlier this spring - they're more than ready to plant. And I did some research - I can grow it outside but it won't survive the winters here, so it looks like I'll put this in a large pot that will be outdoors in the summer and move indoors before the cold. http://www.gardeningblog.net/how-to-grow/lemongrass/. And here. The video puts them too close together for good production outdoors, and I probably wouldn't put them so close in a pot for indoors, though they won't grow as tall or as fast indoors. And this link offers a little bit of the science behind the plant's uses. No medical intentions with this, I'm interested in the flavor for cooking and for tea.
