Our galangal, planted in early 2009
This is a macaranga, a very good rainforest 'starter' plant as its quick growing, creates a shady canopy and its shed leaves mulch down really well. You can see Cliff Richard in the background.
Another new plant for us up here, an arrowroot. They have tuberous roots and stems that can be eaten like a potato or tarro.Fantastic flowers as well. Very fast growing in the right conditions.
Pumpkins are running riot here at the moment.
I think this is sorrell.

That looks like comfrey to me. Sorrell, if you taste it has a lemonly flavour. The leaf of the comfrey is covered in little hairs. Both edible but because of the hairs on the comfrey is better steamed or cooked as in piklets etc.
