Notes

A piece of ginger I'd bought to make ginger beer with and forgotten had started to sprout, so I planted it in a pot near the turmeric. It grew well and stayed leafy for the summer but died off over winter 2013 (as expected in this climate). Waiting to see if it will reawaken when the warmth returns.

Experimental · new and might be flaky

Frost is rare here

Frost is rare in this area, so we show no frost dates.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
