A couple of weeks ago I brought the pot upstairs and put it in the master bathroom. Yesterday I was delighted to see this:
Right now the plant only has three shoots, but when I brushed aside the soil from another part of the root I could see some growing buds starting to swell. Last year the planter box was full by the end of the summer. I hope it does that well again this year.
oh how rewarding! guess you have to find some good ginger recipes now!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... It never occurred to me to plant the ginger in soil. Now you've got me thinking. By golly, I think I'll try it just for fun.
ReplyDeleteGood job! I over-wintered a sweet potato plant year before last and it was beautiful last season. Tried it again this year, but, it died ...... due to neglect
ReplyDeleteCool! Now you have to tell me what you do with it. I have bought ginger for tea and for juicing but I use such a small quantity of it, it dries out before I finish it. Thanks for linking up with TALU!
ReplyDeletePut (peeled and chopped) ginger in marinade for meats, add it to stir fries, add it to sauces. Make candied ginger, ginger syrup, and gingerbread :-)
DeleteI like the fact that you built on the first experiment and got another positive outcome.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteCool! I'm impessed that you remembered to water it given that it was only once a month and it was downstairs. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with the TALU!
I put a reminder to water the pot on the calendar. Otherwise I WOULDN'T have.
