I decided on lemon grass for this month because I’ve had many people ask me about this herb and its uses.  Use it in Thai or Vietnamese dishes, cut in 2 inch pieces, cook, and remove before serving.  Flavor rice with lemon grass to keep it from being so bland; chop tender stalks in salads, or add to fish or poultry dishes for flavor.  Use the leaves in herbal teas for a stomach soother or can be used as an effective insect repellant and fungicide.  I think this is a herb that can be experimented with.  I hope this makes you want to try something different.  The herb lady
