All Stressed Out . . .
Gardening is supposed to be relaxing, right? Then why do I feel such anxiety when my plants don't come up right away? It is like my child is late coming home late. I'm poking the ground, looking for signs of life, wondering when, when, when? Finally my hidden ginger came up, then the white crinums came back to life. But what about the pine cone ginger that grew against the fence (2.)? I knew they would be late because last year I planted over them with Mexican Petunia when the sprouts forcefully found their way up.
So I was pretty happy when I saw these little sprouts popping up. My ginger is back!!!!

Oh...that is exciting!!! GREAT!!!
I've been equally neurotic about my potatoes. I planted seed potatoes as instructed and then...nothing. Every day I went to look and worry about them. Finally, after what feels about a month, green shoots are showing. Thank goodness!
woo hoo! I can't tell you how often I dig up seeds just to see if they have germinated. Then, I'll yank out cuttings I'm trying to root (so they take much longer to actually start rooting). Oh well.
