Default Lemongrass

My lemongrass has grown quite well, but it obviously needs to be harvested. Any ideas on how to store it.I've only got an unheated greenhouse, and the pot ,which is outside at the moment, has rooted into the soil. Can I chop it & freeze it?

Sorry angie, I'm a bit late replying, but you don't have to harvest the whole plant, just break off a stem when you need one.

The plant would be better indoors, rather than in an unheated greenhouse. Having rooted through the pot into the ground, just cut the root, and, its probably the wrong time of year, but pot it up into a slightly larger pot, and as I say, bring it in to the house. You can keep the plants growing for years.

Planted mine in early Feb last year and it was VERY slow to get going. The seedlings were very weedy looking and difficult to handle ane the ones I did best with were sown in a newspaper pot and then transplanted whole into a larger pot. When they got more manageable I split the set into 4 and grew on. Gave 3 away and the other pot is going strong moved into our coolish conservatory.
