Rhubarb, tinda, papalo & quilquina
Growing aromatic herbs
May 27, 2010
Some details of the plants that I'm growing for the first time on my rooftop this year.
This is the papalo (or Papaloquelite), a Mexican herb used in sauces and salads.
The photo was taken before the tremendous sandstorm that has ruined several leaves.
 Quilquina is also known as Bolivian Coriander although I think it's not very similar to coriander.
 I'm also growing rhubarb: the plant is really fascinating, look at the alien leaves as soon as born, before opening up.
 This is the tinda, an indian round gourd that I hope to taste in a couple of months, I will let you know!
EDIT: I used tinda in the recipe Tinda curry
 I've growed tomatoes last year but this is my first experience with the Banana Legs variety. I think I will taste them soon.
