Here is a great idea for your herb garden. Buy a hunk o’ ginger root (which is really a rhizome), plant it this spring, harvest it this fall and freeze in 1 inch chunks so you have ginger year round. We’re totally going to try it. Lovely foliage and food at the same time. Plus it gives me a reason to make homemade Ginger Ale.

I always plant a few pieces in the vegetable garden. The leaves when rubbed are fragrant and occasionally a plant will bloom in the Fall.
Good to know, I didn’t see any pictures of the blooms, but the foliage is really nice.
