モロヘイヤの摘心 Trimming Mulukhiya

モロヘイヤがだいぶ大きくなってきたので摘心しました。これで縦への成長が止まり、脇芽が出て横に伸びるはずです。

My mulukhiyah became pretty tall, so I trimmed them. They should stop growing vertically and start growing horizontally now.

今日の収穫。種を植えて約５週間、最初の収穫です。
Today's harvest. This is my first one after I planted the seeds about 5 weeks ago.


湯がいてみじん切りにし、醤油をかけてミルキークイーンの上に。ネバネバでおいしかった。
I boiled and chopped them. Added some soy sauce and put it on the top of Milky Queen. Taste perfect!! Oh, for people who don't know what mulukhiya is, it's an Egyptian vegetable with a lot of vitamin. It's sticky like okura. I've never seen them here in Tyler, but if you want to try, let me know.


キュウリもかなり大きくなりました。ちょっとテキサスの天気は日本のキュウリには暑すぎるのかな？　毎日３８度くらいだししょうがないかな。
My cucumber grew pretty big, too. I think Texas weather (around 100 degrees everyday) is way too hot for Japanese cucumber.
