the greatest comfort food of mine (as in what makes me feel better after a guy left me for another guy or similar heartaches) is ginisang sitaw. sautee pork chunks until the fat renders and the flesh is crispy, add a bit of garlic and onion and add soy sauce then add super fresh sitaw. with lots and lots of rice.

i remember how much we enjoyed fresh, just-picked sitaw and talong because a generous neighbor had a superbly fruiting plot. sigh.

atbnorge: yuppers! garlic repels not only vampires or asuang? or voles but also APHIDS which like to hang around roses!

Hei betty_q, speaking of two different plants liking each other, I read from an old Cosmopolitan Magazine (when it was not yet riddled with tips about sex and all that rubbish)that roses can benefit from planting garlic along in the same pot or bed. Have you tried that?

t2rad…anything can be grown in containers even water plants nowadays. Get a nice big deep bucket like half an oak barrel or an 8 gallon nurserypot if you can get it. …compost, mznure and top soil. Then put 3 sticks (abouyt 8 feet high and make a tripod. Then plant your sitao seeds around the base of the tripod. Sitao needs a lot of heat. So position the pot near a wall on your patio that gets the most sun. The wall absirbs the heat and benefits the sitao plant. Do not interplant though with onions and anything in the allium family. Onions and legumes do not like each other.

I can’t agree more—I just want to eat all the sitaw I could eat in one sitting. Reminds me of the days when Father used to send me to San Andres in Malate to buy the sitaw seeds from the Bureau of Plants. The sitaw we harvested were almost a meter long!!! It’s in the compost, you know.

Yup! adobo is also what I thought of when I saw those really fresh sitaw. Yum with lots of rice!

Talbos ng sitao also tastes good. Don’t let those young leaves go waste. :)

Those sitao beans would go well with tinapa to make the freshest dinengdeng.
