Store Bought Re-Grown Ginger 1Bi | Home Grown | Re-Use Milk Bottles

Got to say this is one of the most exciting store-bought re-grown for me!

I have been trying to grow ginger for a long time and have failed countless number of times!!

So I am so proud and happy to share with you my progress growing store-bought re-grown ginger and hope I can encourage you to be “freaks” who grow their own.

Lol.. I seriously don’t care to be called a freak when I can go out to my garden and harvest veggies for dinner;)

Enjoy,

Mango and Mulberry Cuttings | Re-Grown | Home Grown

Tried many times and finally succeeded at growing cuttings from Mum and Dad’s Mango and over 100-year-old Mulberry tree.

Decided to transplant it into a self watering-pot [no idea if they are any good compared to a wicking bed] since there was signs of new growth in the mango cutting.

While transplanting, I didn’t notice any root system in the mango cutting. Didn’t want to disturb the mulberry cutting so didn’t see any roots either. I had them in a zip lock bag mini green house outside.

So.. should I leave them be? Or should I put a bag over them to re-create the green house effect?

Thank you so much,
Grace-yi

Store Bought Re-Grown Ginger | Home Grown | Re-Use Milk Bottles

After COUNTLESS attempt at growing ginger I finally have 1 that succeeded out of the 3 bottles I made.

So since I have never got to this stage before, I have no idea what to do/ not to do next.

At the moment I have placed it in a zip lock bag outside to keep it moist as I am unable to water it daily over the weekend. I am worried it might cook in the bag. So should i leave it outside with a little opening, or should I just zip it all up and bring it inside?

Please advise,
Grace-yi

It is alive!!!^^

Wicking Bed 2 | Re-Use | Home DIY

Our 2nd raised garden wicking bed! Unfortunately the frame was not strong enough and a few weeks after, it collapsed on us! So all our hard work and effort to sand, paint the frame was all wasted!
