Re: A Temperate-climate Garden in Summe (none / 1)

This is really inspiring, Paul and makes this apartment dweller really homesick for a little piece of un-cemented earth.

My latest success was finding ginger with green shoots in the supermarket, which I soaked a couple of days and decided to break up and put in pots: It has grown over a foot and I have no idea what´s next.

I did the same with the Ingwer and also with Curcuma roots, both came well, but unfortunately do not seem to bloom in an appartment. Both have beautiful flowers. But maybe in Madrid you have more luck.

I have a few pots of dirt and earth on my balcony, that will have to do for the moment, though, me too I would like to have a garden again.

So, how do you harvest it, Fran? I just planted it less than two months ago and there are no signs of flowers. I have outdoor stairs with a small front porch and I don´t know if I should bring it inside before the frost either.

Thank you for any help.
