Needless to say, to this day, I rely heavily on my Asian herbs and spices. I've experimented in the past with great success growing and overwintering indoors other Asian herbs like Lemongrass and have been meaning to try ginger. I've read that you can sprout the ginger like you do a potato, then lay the root on top of potting soil, and then cover with a couple inches of sand and grow it that way. Adding the sand is supposed to make harvesting the root a lot easier. Keep us updated on your ginger!Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027132351549404291.post-7791894726557033752009-09-17T18:24:50.992-04:002009-09-17T18:24:50.992-04:00June,

I also ordered some from <a href="http://groworganic.com/item_SNV7047_Horizon_Herbs_Organic_Sesame_Bla.html" rel="nofollow"> Peaceful Vally </a> because I wasn't sure the coop ones would work. Both sets sprouted well, and I believe it was the one from the Peaceful Valley that actually produced the one flower. However, I bet in better soil conditions either would do fine.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500390722832190990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027132351549404291.post-49370302032425130212009-09-17T17:30:56.249-04:002009-09-17T17:30:56.249-04:00Oh, so interesting!

And I must know more about the sesame. Where did you get the seeds or start for it? It's also on my list of things to try...Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630593290368661236noreply@blogger.com
