Ulam Raja, Cosmos Caudatus
We are not so eager to cut ulam raja shoots for salads this time round. The row of ulam raja is the central feature of the garden bed near pedestrian walkway. To cut means to cut the whole row, so that the height remains level. I think we cut just once for lunch when the relatives came crowding at our place. It is always nice to treat them with home grown vegetables.
Now the row is flowering, and that will mark the end of their fruitful existence. Out of the four plants and so many side branches, only one very thin lowest branch decides to flower. Soon every branch will race for their limelight!
