Sugar cane

This is my pot of sugar cane.  In September 2012, I think, I planted a couple of sugar cane segments and by December shoots appeared.  There are more canes growing now and I have cut down one cane which was about 35 cm long.  It was not the juiciest of cane but I can say that I was able to share the experience of chewing on the sweet cane with my son and granddaughter.

This is the cut cane, with the leaves stripped off, and below the segments which we peeled and chewed for the juice.
