mungo,

I have a huge interest in indian food

did you just plant these ordinarily, any special considerations?
I have tamarind from the asian shop
and it has seeds in it, is this where you got yours?

Is there anything indian else you have managed to grow
apart from coriander
(curry leaves?, fenugreek leaves?)


We have two different types of genuine Sag/Saag growing on the allotment.
Asian friend brought the seeds back for us from a farming relative in the
Punjab recently but doesn't know the names of them although she did say one
is the very best type. Unlike our Spinach these are obviously both brassicas
judging by the colour and the flea beetle damage.
Germination was about 100% and took only a three days.
Problem now is when to harvest.
