Re: Veggie-Land

Hi to you both,
Just thought I'd let you know that while this plant  smells like curry
it is not the edible plant used in the E.Indian spice blend....The true
curry plant has almost no aroma at all and is  green leafed rather than
the silver of the fragrant "curry"plant.It is attainable from Logees if
you'd care to find it.
