Once upon a time, there was a plant at granma's house.
We called it mulberry plant.
The baby fruits looked exactly like the ones in your picture.
It tasted sour.
Then it turned red and then black I guess.
It was fun to watch different colors on the tree.
We, the kids, used to fight for the berries.
The end!

I think it's young peppercorns, saw many of these kinds in Coorg! But hell, would you be growing even PEPPER at home? The next thing i know is that you have your own SALT PAN too...

Hi Injipennu,

I bought a jasmine plant from a chinese grocery store...Without thinking really, they had some for $25 and the scent of jasmine made me so nostalgic that I just bought one without thinking where or how I would take care of it... We had many kinds of jasmine at my granmas place and I so badly wanted one...

Well, here comes the trouble - I am not sure how to take care of it... I have been looking up the net, but now it seems all the more difficult and confusing... I loved plants in India and was very comfortable in the garden... But somehow the northeastern weather just scares the heck out of me...

Anyway, coming to the crux of it- could you maybe point me to websites/resources which have details on how to take care of jasmine...

Btw, I am lurker who is usually following the happenings in the Indian food blog scene... I just have fun reading stuff you guys write abt... I know you are into gardening and when the reality of having to take care of a plant dawned on me, I thought I would ask you...

Sorry abt the trouble and long post

Thanks
Hema
