This is about the favourite lemongrass.

Dear friends,

In Marc 2008 I attended a week training focused on the planting of spices related plants. The plants covered in the course were: the lemongrass, kesum, bunga kantan, pokok curry and langkuas.

The areas covered were, planting it, harvesting, processing and marketing.

It was really a beneficial courses. I include the pictures to share with all of you.
