You harvested the lemon grass perfectly. You don't have to peel the stalk. I just take a little bit off if it looks brown/dry, otherwise I just use the whole stalk as is, no peeling. You can use the stalk whole or cut to desired lengths as it fits in your pot or bottle.
I don’t know anything about lemon grass, but my son uses it in cooking. He used it in a stir fry. The stalk was still green and he just sliced the stalk up crosswise in little pieces. You couldn’t eat it because it was too hard, but it added a really good lemon flavor. I don’t think he had a recipe, but he had a college roommate who was from Singapore, who taught him a lot of oriental cooking. Hope this helps. Even if it’s not used medicinally, it’s still a good way to use what you have.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your sponsored content. There have been items I hadn't even thought of until seeing your "sponsored" content. Keep it up, Asia!! We appreciate it!!
I don’t care about the sponsored content. You’re doing me a favor by being here and giving me so much info on gardening in zone 7b! Thanks for sharing!
…by the way, all that grass you’re about to get rid of, I actually boil up some water let steep some grass with fresh grated ginger or tumeric and honey immune boosting
Hey Asia! There is no need to apologize, none! Keep doing your sponsors, and I always try and watch the majority of the ads in your channel. I understand how they benefit content creators. As always, thanks for sharing!😊
I hope you get more sponsorships! 🙌🏾🙏🏾 I appreciate you sharing your experience and perspective. There are so many things we use in and for the garden and for this whole lifestyle really, and now more than ever we need to make sure we’re spending our money right so need honest opinions from a real urban gardener.
I love the sponsored content! It always helps me decide which products will work with the flow of my homestead. Exciting to see you getting closer to 40k 🎉🎉
I truly don't understand why it would bother anyone if you sponsor products or not🤔 wow. Continue to do what absolutely make you happy. I love your videos Asia😍😍💖💖🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏
I trim and dry lemongrass throughout the growing season. I usually don't harvest the root until the very end of the season and or as needed. It's actually a cut and come again plant.
Asia, you can make lemongrass chicken. You finely blend up the stalks and add garlic and onion with it. Add soy sauce, Oyster sauce. Marinade the chicken with it for a few hours or over night. Then grill it. Delicious!
Good video, Asia!🌱 I am also working on my home apothecary. It’s always nice to see how other people are doing it, so I’m interested in your future videos on this subject. Also, IMO, sponsorship is helpful to the content provider and the viewer. It’s also a compliment to you that a company thinks your videos are of the quality they want to have their names and reputation associated with. Keep on, keeping’ on girl!
I harvested lemongrass for the first time this year. I took some of the stalks and put them inside in a jar of water for winter so u have it for next spring. I dried most of it and froze some. It makes delicious tea!!
I have that it’s an encyclopedia. Awesome I was a little discouraged the rabbits ate a bag of my carrots the dears was eating leaves off my plants lol but I haven’t even got everything in the ground yet 🤦🏾♀️because I don’t know how to protect it. I learned a way and I’m bout to try it I have to put a blanket over them at night.lol have a great one you encouraged me thanks
I made mullein tincture. The directions I followed said to use one of those glass pucks (like they use in fermenting food) to keep the green mullein under the alcohol to avoid mold growth. I’m new at this too! So much to learn!
You are so inspiring me to continue on my journey towards an apothecary. I haven’t been the best at harvesting my herbs either but this past summer I’ve been better.
I really enjoy your content and I learn something new every time!!. I saw information about medicinal herbs that are native to the South East-over on Legacy Wilderness Academy-FYI. I will be looking forward to the next video😊
I have some rosemary growing in my bed and I wasn't sure if I should plant it in a pot and try to bring it in during the winter. I love this!! Learning about the herbs and how they can be used to help us. I love all the sponsored content that you have included with your videos. I think they are cool because I am introduced to cool new products. Also so excited to be on this journey of learning with you. Keep the vids coming and can't wait for Saturdays video.
In The Bahamas (and some other Caribbean countries), we call this fever grass. It’s a bush medicine with a ton of health benefits,including fighting off cold/flu/fever. You can cut the leaves and boil them. Sweeten with condensed milk. It’s delicious!😋
Thanks so much for sharing. I am very interested and hope to also begin my journey with medicinal herbs and when you read the medicinal properties of rosemary, it sounded like the perfect tincture for me to start with. I do have small jars and may just barely have enough rosemary to get started with. 😊
Hi Aisha, I am so inspired by this video today. I have been doing the same in growing the herbs but failing to use them properly. This in encouraging and I will do better. I have watched you for a while and also subscribed. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi Asia, hoping that you are well. You inspired me to grow Marshmellow...I winter sowed it and it did wonderfully. It is a perenniaI in my region so I will harvest the roots next year with the hope that the roots will be larger. I grew lemon grass, dehydrated the leaves and made tea. It was delicious. You have inpired me to try a rosemary tincture! Lastly, I was channeling Asia vibes when I dug up plants and relocated them : ) Here's to continued growth for your channel. Almost at 40K.....🎉
Hi Asia,thanks for the information on the chip drop. I am in Philadelphia and we have it too. I signed up as well and communicated with them. Had questions on my area to receive it. Sent photos and they didn't believe the area was big enough. I am so bummed. I will find a way though. Thank you for that info. Love the video.
Hi beautiful, I love your channel! I love how you show everything the good, bad, and sometimes not-so-pretty. I would like to suggest one thing put parchment paper on your jars that have alcohol, so it won't corrode the caps. I’m learning about herbal remedies as well. I also don't have an issue with you getting sponsorship. I will be watching all the commercials as well to help you. Enjoy your journey of it all!💐✌🏽
I was just wondering yesterday how to harvest my overgrown lemon grass. And it is definitely itchy on the face. I had to move my plant because it was a beast!
I didn't know yu could harvest lemon grass from the roots I usually harvest by trimming all the green tops close to the bottom Then mulch the roots in winter I cut the leaves into small pieces and then dry them in a dry hanging herb mesh basket That's hanging from the kitchen ceiling Got fiom temu Each one teach one❤
I’m really looking forward to learning about herbs and homeopathic remedies with you. This is a very interesting subject and useful. I have 3 of the books you mentioned. 😊
I need to get better about harvesting my herbs. I grow a lot and just pick enough for cooking. But I feel like I could be using them for more things. Let us know how you like that book!
I've just seen some of those wasps out, as well. I call them "ground wasps" because I think they make their nests in the ground. They are small and do look like bees, but they are carnivores. I know because I have seen them eating some of my outdoor cat's canned food. I've also seen them--just today, in fact, killing some of the Giant Swallowtail caterpillars on my citrus trees. Those are cool, btw, because they look like bird poop, but they are actually caterpillars. Anyway, I felt bad, but I figured that it's Nature's way of keeping the population in check and keeping the caterpillars from decimating my citrus trees.
Hi Asia, The little “bees” you’re observing may actually be hover flies. They do look like wasps & will eat some insects on your plants. Just a thought. Happy gardening
Hey this not me it’s my momma yelling at me from inside my head,… please put a towel under the salad spinner on that glass table. Also a wet towel underneath your cutting board will stop it from sliding around.

The lemongrass leaves are dried and used for tea for fever and colds.

Keep doing what you’re doing. Your channel is my favorite and I enjoy supporting you as best I can.
The blades of the lemongrass can be cleaned and used for a broth seasoning or boiled for tea to drink hot or cold.
Excited to harvest some of my herbs. Great inspiration. Abundance to you
Ok thank you so much! I appreciate the information.
Happy harvesting! Thank you!
Yes. Take a bunch of leaves, tie it in a loose knot and place it in a pot of water to boil. I enjoy mine sweetened with condensed milk .
I live in the Caribbean and we use the lemon grass leaves in tea, you can use the whole plant .... Love your videos ❤
Rosemary, i read should be completely dry or mold and bacterial can grow. Also if not dried can have excessive water .
Rosemary is one of my favs!!
I trim and dry lemongrass throughout the growing season. I usually don't harvest the root until the very end of the season and or as needed. It's actually a cut and come again plant.
Yes, you can cut back lemongrass although don't cut more then 1/3 of the plant
Those bee looking insects are wasps. I have them as well. They don't bother me but they do eat the pests so that's nice.
Plant lavender for luck, and Rosemary by the garden gate.... 💙
I am glad you do sponsored content. I got the kneeler/chair you use, and LOVE IT! Anything that gets you to remain here is awesome!
Hi Asia❤ I got some nice bottles from Dollar Tree with the flip top for my tinctures. Great video, Sis. Have a blessed day ❤️😊💚
Thanks on where i can also look for those bottles.
I boil the green part of the lemongrass for tea and Asia you can also wash and dry the green part for storage and use for tea during the winter.
I've recently learned Lemon Balm doesn't have a long shelf life and it's best used fresh.
Asia, you can make lemongrass chicken. You finely blend up the stalks and add garlic and onion with it. Add soy sauce, Oyster sauce. Marinade the chicken with it for a few hours or over night. Then grill it. Delicious!

Yes, you can cut off the top of the lemongrass, I do, wash, dry and use it for tea, delicious.
You can also root rosemary in water. I brought some cut rosemary and root it in water.
I harvested lemongrass for the first time this year. I took some of the stalks and put them inside in a jar of water for winter so u have it for next spring. I dried most of it and froze some. It makes delicious tea!!

You can also cut the leaves tops. The leaves grow from the center.

Great harvest all around ❤
Thank you for the wonderful video!💚
You can cut and dry the leaves for tea & I love to freeze the stalks for later use

Yu can put a few leaves of lemon grass in white jasmine rice
We also put thyme in white jasmine rice
even rosemary nice fragrance an beneficial
For the lemongrass you can cut the leaves. They will grow back. Also use the leaves with some lemon balm to make a really good tea mix.
Ok awesome! Thank you! I appreciate the information!

Lemon grass is tropical
It can't take frost
So make sure yu put it in the green house
I use the rosemary boiled with pineapple shaving to make a very refreshing tea.
I bet that is delicious definitely trying that thx
O that sounds really good! Thank you for the comment. I’ll have to try it!
Thought I'd pop-up and see how.

Yellow jackets, you see them close to the ground. They have a golden color
I didn't know yu could harvest lemon grass from the roots
I usually harvest by trimming all the green tops close to the bottom
Then mulch the roots in winter
I cut the leaves into small pieces and then dry them in a dry hanging herb mesh basket
That's hanging from the kitchen ceiling
Got fiom temu

You called it Lemon balm and grass. You have grass not balm. I have tons of balm. They're growing differently
Hey Asia those are yellow jackets on your plant. They do eat other insects so they may be eating your plant eaters 😊
Hello Asia! Awesome garden herb video, making your rosemary tincture, reference books, and more!💖
Blessings to you and your family!🌹 🦋10/10/2024🦋
Could be ground bees!
Think about getting a net to capture the cabbage moths. I ordered one from Amazon!
Also, hover flies look like mini bees! Parasitic wasps are definitely your friend in the garden! Good for you, good for your garden!
Thanks ❤

I wonder if they're what we call meat bees here in Far Northern California.They will bite on humans too,also sting.
