really easy - I just get a "hand" of ginger at the store, Asian market is best, find the one with lots of growth buds - stick it in some soil
same with lemongrass.
My Thai basil still going, not as prolific but then ran out of fertilizer, flowering, nice pink ones, hes over a year old now.
What light source are you using during the winter months? I tried raising basil under fluorecent lights a few years ago...and raised greens that tasted worse than canned spinach !! Something, perhaps a specific wavelength of light, was lacking... and the basil just didn't produce that essential oil that is so characteristic of fresh basil....dragonsfire said:
Anyway, whatever you can tell me about overwintering basil in a winter of the likes of Medicine Hat is bound to be a boon of info for me.
Thanks.
Got two of these, awesome, Make great SAD lights too

I just picked up lime thyme, citrus mint, mojito mint and chocolate mint, hoping my lemon grass recovers if not I'll pick up another one. All the basils are about to get planted.
Been looking for lemon grass myself, the ones in the store look raged so hope to find some decent ones.
lol, need to make some curry powder, been out for a long time

Chocolate Mint is nice, have had that in the past.
Yeah I have had it for 10 years in my mint garden with apple and pineapple but decided to get a new plants for a new area instead of digging up and moving some...LAZY <----dragonsfire said:
