The plan is mulching with some grass debris and leaves I have and hopefully keep the stems in good condition until it warms up.
The wife has been asking about doing something similar to the lemon grass. Currently it's the biggest clump we've gotten so far and we really don't want to loose it like we did our basil crop. At least the basil will reseed itself and we should have plenty in the spring popping up.
Speaking of popping up, the saffron has popped up and is still growing nicely. We've had one flower although I seem to have misplaced the stamens we picked. They're already dividing from the bulbs we purchased as seen from the clusters of shoots in places where we only planted single bulbs.
As far as planting, it's about time for root vegetables and snow peas. Hardy greens will do good as well. I'll probably be planting carrot, cabbage and snow peas in the next couple days.
I think lemon grass grows better in hot or tropical climate. It might be able to survive the cold though.
