For the past two years we have grown lemon grass in the planter with great success.\u00a0This year since we were out of town\u00a0a lot during the past few months and combined with the drought conditions in our area we decided it would be best\u00a0to scale back our planting this growing season.<\/p>\n<p>Well, mother nature fooled us again and has blessed us with good rainfall every week for the past couple of months. While the prognosticators say we are still in a moderate drought, Falls Lake is only 2 inches below full stage. So now that we are into the last weeks of summer and approaching fall soon we were thinking of what we could plant here and still get something to eat out of it in the next couple of months.<\/p>\n<h3><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"float: right; margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/images\/CajunSpiceJars03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" \/>We want your help in deciding what would be a great edible plant to grow in our old barrel planter.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The contest winner gets a choice of one free jar of either my <strong><em>Cajun Chef Ryan&#8217;s Cajun Spice Mix<\/em><\/strong> or one free jar of my <em><strong>Finger Lickin&#8217; Rub Spice Mix<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><em><\/em><\/h3>\n<h3><em><\/em><\/h3>\n<h3><em><\/em><\/h3>\n<h3><em><\/em><\/h3>\n<h3><em>Rules<\/em><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>The selected plant must be able to produce\u00a0edible\u00a0portions, meaning you can cook\u00a0parts of\u00a0the plant\u00a0or eat parts of the plant in raw form.<\/li>\n<li>It must be a plant that\u00a0can grow with moderate sunlight.
