| I just picked a few pomegranates. Also have figs and osmanthus and michelia alba that have flowered/fruited. Some less than a year old jackfruit, mangos, durians, lychee and euphorbia antiquorum and very small guava and lemons and pomelo and passiflora and sugar apples. Just starting the winter crops of baak choi and dao miu. Just picked up some hedychium coronarium and some prickly pear while walking around yesterday. |

| Hello... I just joined today and this will be my first post on Garden Web. I've got a lucky bamboo plant. I guess that counts as Asian. Its leaves have been turning yellow. Is it supposed to do that in winter? |
|
| I am growing a bunch of everything . I like Helwingia , Hamamelis , Acers ,Disporum , Corylopsis , Prunus mume , Edgeworthia etc.. I mix it up kinda like Frank Zappa meets Gordon Lightfoot . I would figure out exactly what bamboo you have then look it up using a search engine . |
|
| Tin, I have bantams too. Nankins, cochins (both are Asian breeds - Nankins are from Indonesia, cochins are from China), and some others. They are laying eggs but I don't want chicks until spring. My garden is sleeping for the winter, but there are many Asian bamboos there, and they are green and beautiful. Inside, I have some Japanese shiso seeds, which I will plant in pots and put on a sunny windowsill. |
|
| I still have not grown a vest majority the of herbs I would like, but can always harvest lemon grass, rosemary, simese ginger, magrood, basil, and bay year around here. Would love to be able to grow more before some body in a white coat comes and takes me to the funny farm. ;-] |
|
| I just planted tons of daffodils and lilies. Otherwise, winter is about to start and we're trimming trees and bushes like crazy. Camelias are blooming. Cosmos just finished. Orange trees in the neighborhood are loaded. We picked ginko nuts a few weeks ago. The bay trees are fine, as usual.. and starting to grow into the neighbor's roof. The basil just finished... I finally let it go to seed. I'm hoping it will come back by itself next year. It grows really well here! (So do wild potatoes... they're like a weed.) Tomatos also did well. Leeks were a disaster... something ate them down to the roots in one day. I had no time to do anything to help them. One day they were fine, the next a bit yellowish, then GONE. It's a bit chilly but sunny every day! We don't usually get snow here, hopefully this winter will be no exception. It's kind of like my hometown, Victoria. A little bit of snow shuts a lot of things down. |

| I'm in Asia (Singapore), but I must confess the 'grass is a little greener on the other side'... i love brugmansias! hang around that forum frequently. |

| I will be growing many Asian ingredients this season, as always, and, as always, the numbers have increased again! This year there will be three Thai peppers, including the trusty dragon, hanoi market, dong xung, assam, japones, and probably some I forgot. I will be trying a smaller wax melon - khao nuan, fong san improved Chinese cabbage, summer boy bok choy, a couple new basils, along with the standby, siam queen, two new cilantros, which I hope work better than the ubiquitous "slobolt" everyone carries, and 4 new eggplants, some of which are supposed to be very early. Oh, and a couple hundred scallions and bulbs of garlic, of course. And this isn't including the non-asian food! Some people wonder when I have time to eat it. Believe me...I find time! Dave

| I am growing mangos (5 years old) and jackfruits (2 years old. |
|
| Pepperhead: how do you cook those chinese/asian vegetables like Bak Choy...etc? Stir fried? xeen |
|
| Stir fry Bak Choy is good or you can add them in noodle soup or soup alone. You may want to do a recipe search under Bak Choy. They can be cook as cabbage would. |
|
| Just added guava, jasmine, a passiflora. I have some citrus seeds to plant, though I don't know what they'll become. Likely they're hybrids of limes, oranges and kumquats. |

| I am in Upstate NY just between zone 4 and 5. This year I am growing Asian cucumbers, yard long beans, hairy melon, winter melon, luffa, bitter gourd, amaranth (hin choy), Chinese broccoli, choy sum, garlic chives (perennial), cilantro, scallions, ong choy (also known as cang kong), and Chinese wolfberry (a perennial--can't recall the Latin name). In terms of non-Asian vegetables, I am growing sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, Swiss chard, asparagus (second year only), summer squash, and winter squash. We have had a tremendous amount of rain, and the garden is not flourishing as it did last year. My passion for growing gives me my nickname of Greenfingers, but where are the Green Thumbs???? I will post some pictures (when the weather allows me to take them) if anyone is interested. |
