Thanks for these helpful tips ! Time will tell just how green my fingers
really are with ginger !

BTW : I'm now trying to germinate some juniper berry seeds - from
berries bought from the supermarket spice section, of course !

Ginger grows quite readily, and has attractive foliage. I've never
gotten any to bloom, but others claim to have done so. It likes sun,
heat and humidity, and is not frost-tolerant.

I, too, like starting 'free' plants. Never thought of a juniper,
'though I have 2 varieties growing here. I do have 3 tiny sprouts of a
Kaffir lime that I'm nursing carefully.
