That works too. Ginger is nice to cut up in small pieces and freeze, otherwise I end up having a dried up piece of ginger at the back of my fridge every time.

Lol
It grates well frozen
This year hopfully I remember to do some wild harvesting lots of nice medicinal herbs up here...

Hi! New to BYC and semi new to gardening. Starting truly gardening almost 3 years ago when we bought our house. My mom was my gardener. She helped me prep the bed and pick plants that were easy to maintain and would work in our soil.

This year the internet convinced me to start vegetable seed indoors (good blogs and pictures make everything look fabulous to try, right?) so I convince my husband to buy a metal rack, some shop lights and more seeds that we could possibly need or eat. It's been 3 weeks and I have baby cherry tomatoes, watermelon, squash, jalapeno, and pumpkins growing.

I have already learned a lot. Like don't get discouraged when you think all your seeds have rotted. I thought all my watermelon seeds were worthless so bought a new pack and tried again, putting the original pots off to the side to clean out later. Well, that first batch of watermelon started growing after my second set was germinating.

Also, don't start all the seeds at the same time. I now have 2 dozen or more baby cherry tomatoes and not sure where I will put them all. I still need to build my raised beds!
