Gardening, flowers and veggies: 2015

anyone know about growing ginger?

Only what I've seen on Pinterest. I was planning on stopping by the Farmer's Market after next payday; at Seedy Saturday a vendor who carries ginger to grow was out, but said he'd be at the FM and I could find him there.

I have a new garden bed project. We will see when I finally get the time to get digging. The son will not be pleased, but I will need the help.

It's funny how I got rid of stuff and you have a new garden project...hmmmmmmm Ha ha.

I'm glad to see all this rain, been dry enough we really need it. However, I would like some sun. I have things to do and working in the cold damp makes my bones and joints ache :/

and I hate how old that makes me sound.

I've never had so many frogs croaking this time of year.
Ya gotta like frogs.

Gonna plant spuds tomorrow.

My tomato plants have sprouted, but not a single pepper plant has :/ Hoping my buddy has more luck with them.

Now to see how many get to "garden planting" size.

Wheres the best place to get mulch, compost and soil in Kelowna? Is it a big price difference to go and get a load somewhere instead of just buying bags from say Cosco? I don't need alot.

My tomatoes are popping up!
Not bad, under 80 hours since I sowed them.
Nothing germinates peppers and tomatoes like bottom heat.
I sowed more peppers the other day. I don't expect them up till the weekend or so.

How much do you need, in cubic feet or yards?
Or cubic centimetres or meters?

I'm paving over all my gardens to have more parking.
