big cardamom fan, so if the leaves smell like the seeds, I shall soon

i took some cardomoms with me to thailand and planted them in a garden
in what i thought would be ideal conditions but nothing.
plenty hot and humid too.
strange that the local thais had never seen them before.
i dont want to even contemplate growing curry leaves..
