Growing Ginger: Gardening. Do you love Asian foods, ginger ale and pumpkin pie?
It’s the taste of ginger that’s won you over. Zingiber officinale is easy to grow and makes for a great project with kids. And with its attractive foliage, this plant will add beauty to your home and garden, as well. Just pick up a root from your grocery store’s produce section and get growing! Because ginger root tubers grow right near the soil surface, don’t bury them when you transplant them to your garden.

Pull the roots from the ground and allow them to dry in the open air before removing the stalks and harvesting. Ginger root is sold in a clump that’s often called a “hand.” Planting is easy as pie: Simply pick a pot that’s at least twice the diameter as the length of your root section. Studies say ginger’s peak flavor arrives at 265 days. With proper care, your ginger can reach 2-4 feet tall. Monumentale bomen · een overzicht van grote en oude bomen.

Vertical Gardening on the Patio. The most common reason gardeners try out vertical gardening is to make the best use of a small or limited space.
You can combine vertical trellising with container gardening on a patio to grow great plants in a tiny amount of space. Using upwards space rather than outward space is particularly important for vining plants or very fast-spreading plants in small areas, since they can otherwise quickly take over a small container or spread across your patio.
Vertical gardening also provides convenience to many gardeners. There’s less bending and weeding, and tasks like pruning, watering, harvesting, and checking for bugs are easier when the plant is growing vertically. Another benefit is that air circulation and sunlight reach the plant more evenly. Vertical Garden Setup However, if you place the tall plants in a location that will block the sunlight from reaching the other plants, you must choose a shade-tolerant plant to accompany it, or else adjust your patio garden layout accordingly. Mens gradestokken kryper gradevis nedover .... Drømmer jeg om sol og sommer og .... et veksthus av gamle vinduer!
Er ikke dette herlig? Akkurat et slikt veksthus har jeg ønsket meg LENGE! Jeg så det da jeg var på julemarked på Basnes Gård i helgen og ble helt forelsket i det. Tenk så fint det blir med blomster og tomater og en god stol utenfor - et lite bord til kaffekoppen.... Als Garden Center. Gardening Ideas.

Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim.
The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew. Project Wednesday: "Cork" Boards. I have had so many projects that I have wanted to get done for a long time, but just did not have the time to complete them, let alone even GET to them.
So this recent staycation that Fer and I have been on has afforded me a good amount of time to get to a lot of things and here is one of them. I have been collecting wine corks for a long time and for the most part just store them in two large glass cookie jars, but have been wanting to make something with them for awhile (which is why I collect so many.)
I made a coaster a few months back and I do plan to make more of those but this time I used a good amount of the corks up on these "cork" boards for our kitchen. I have had these pictures for quite a while and they have served their purpose but now I found a new purpose for them. They are a good size and as you'll see below the detail on the edge of the frame lends itself to a classy bulletin board, right. :) So armed with some black acrylic paint and tons of corks I went to work. Cool! / DIY floating books shelves.
