We’ve been trying to grow sugar cane in our zone 8 but our soil is bad. However, we’ve discovered the addition of biochar and mushroom compost is very helpful. Everything grew so much better but we didn’t put the sugar cane in till much later. Next year we will plant it in early!
In zone 8 you can over winter it and it will get much bigger the second year. Hope it does well for you. I was thinking of trying to get different kinds to try.
I did eat some this year and they are not bad at all. they just got froze off last night, got down to 23F. I'm going to try and save the root, I made video of my plan but have not had time to upload it yet.
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 oh that will be interesting, yeah I’ve heard it can be done. Have you ever had them come back from the root in the past?

Mix in some lime, ginger and himalayan rock salt.. its heavenly..
Sugarcane juice is the best thing ever. Try it with a little bit of black salt, lemon and fresh mint.
So cool! Hey have you ever used the papayas green? I never have but apparently they can be cooked or used raw.
