Wow! I couldn’t agree more. How can you choose what to go to?! Each one sounds great! Look forward to hearing how it all went and which sessions you went to.

I had to learn how to pollinate my own plants because bees just weren’t doing it for me. I would love to grow potatoes and garlic and can’t wait to try it next year.

Comment on Growing Baby Ginger as a Backyard Garden Vegetable Crop by lazy Liz

Wow! I’ve been thinking of how to grow my ginger for about three years now since we move here to Huntsville, AL because they are very expensive to buy in store. I’ve thought of growing them in a cart where I can wheel it in and out the house/garage to maintain the temperature. It gets really really hot in the summer here and snows and below freezing in the winter. I will try to grow this late winter and hope to see rhizomes like yours. Great article!

@Ray Morgan
Last winter may have been too much for your goji plant. Don’t worry though, it will adapt in time.

My location: Romania
Summer average temperature: 25-35 degrees C
Winter average temperature: -10, -25 degrees C

I have been growing Goji plants outside for three years now. They adapted quite well. I had a FIG TREE that I thought it died completely last winter at -25 C, but then the next spring it started anew from the roots, I guess, because the above plant froze to death. I think it’s better if you just leave your plants to struggle to adapt, otherwise it’s not worth growing them outside. Except most exotic plants, which are not accustomed to harsh winters.

Good luck !

Comment on Distressed Bay Laurel Plants in Need of Assistance by Debbie

I have a bay leaf plant and for about a month and a half my leaves have like a clear sticky secretion on the on them. I moved it inside in the fall and it was doing ok, but I am beginning to worry that maybe I have watered it too much. Would this cause what I’ve described going on with the leaves or could it be something else?
