Ginger... an ingredient, a medicinal plant, a flower.
OK... I have decided to try my hand at growing some ginger from the rhizomes. I have a couple of very nice roots (I use a LOT of ginger at work) and I thought, what the heck, maybe a nice indoor plant. Has anyone grown ginger flowers from the root? I would love to hear what you have to say!
Here we go on another adventure...

Gloves or bare handed?
I am curious...
How many people religiously wear gardening gloves? I just bought three pair (they are still in the package, by the way) as I do every year, but, I only seem to wear them about a third of the time. My career dictates that I have short nails - so there is no nail breakage issue - and I wear protective gloves at work all the time (like a second skin), yet I cannot seem to keep my garden gloves on unless I am working with blackberries or roses.
Do you wear gloves?

Treasures from Trash...
I have a great treasure find I am going to pick up in the morning- an old iron headboard with lots of curlicues and such that would be perfect for a bit of flowering vine (Moonflower? Hummingbird (cypress) vines? morning glories?). I think it is an awsome thing.... Do you ever see treasure in someone elses trash?

I found a great resource!
Blotanical- Where garden blogs bloom
I stumbled across a collection of gardeners- amature, professional, container, raised beds... you name it! If you are a gardener (or want to be one) you should click on the link above.
Happy gardening!

Resurection!!!!
This Bradford Pear was diseased and had to be cut down. This is a shoot off of the stub.
