Lemon grass

Cymbopogon citratus ( lemongrass) Because Filipino will put it in anything we cook, from chicken soup to stuffing for a whole pig roast.

Litchi Tomato - Solanum sisymbriifolium

Ottawa Ontario Canada.

Solanum sisymbriifolium ( litchi tomato), the mother plant was from Telsing Andrews Edible garden ( fall 2016). We got a garden tour - with our seed saving workshop and I was given few ripe fruits to taste and save. I love the fiesty look of this plant and sweet fruit such an oddball, in fact, i have one growing near my front door. 

It is my favorite summer plant, i don't think I ever need to water it often like the regular tomatoes. I direct seeded these seeds as well and they grow just fine. 



The fruits are very sweet and I love sweet fruits, and the flush of fruits is in succession.
