Good to see you!

Haven't seen/done a group BFNR in a long time, just sent some
stuff from the ocean to Karleen some time earlier this year all
by myself.

Hadn't checked r.c.b in a day and a half, and all of a sudden
there were 38 new posts! Almost feels like the old days.

Aloha,
Maren

hey Tina--I've kicked my coffee in the morning habit in favor of the
ginseng. This is day four of no coffee and it feels better, no caffeine
plus the ginseng helps me control my anxiety levels better.. Thanks again!!

WOW, if I did that, they'd have to send the men in white coats out after
me.... Scares me just to think about it.

I'm so glad it's doing good things for you!! It's funny how we
respond to different herbs. I've never noticed much difference with
Ginseng, but Astragalus and Ginkgo work well for me. And I've been
eating lots of pickled ginger for my joints this year.

Pickled ginger for joints? For real?
I have a jar of home pickled ginger in the fridge,
maybe I should eat that ...

It's an anti-inflammatory.

That I knew. It just never clicked.

I guess I'll have to grow more ginger root.

Ginger is an anti-inflammatory, and a carminative--that means it makes your
stomach feel better and gets rid or gas and bloating. Great stuff, ginger.
We do fresh chopped ginger, honey and a teeeeeny bit of cayenne pepper in
hot water for sore throats/coughs because it cuts the mucous and sooths the
throat all the way down..

Maren, how does ginger root do best? I had some green nubby things coming
out, looked promising in the dish....but I planted it in dirt and it rotted.
What do they like, to grow please?

It's a tropical, to begin with. It goes dormant in winter even here.
Obviously (to you as well as to me) it's a root crop, so if you want
to grow some it needs space to expand (kinda like iris, for the people
in the more temperate zone places). I have mine in a gallon pot, and
some more in the yard in a place where it doesn't get enough sun.
The gallon pot is definitely too small, a seed flat would be more
like it. It likes decent drainage, you can probably plant it
in potting soil (on top of potting soil, it'll grow in the direction
it
wants to), but make sure it isn't soggy. The green nubby things
are the new sprouts, and they will need some dirt to go into.
It doesn't have to be deep dirt, we don't have deep dirt where
I am (too steep a slope to hold much dirt even on 3000 year old
lava). Email me if you have specific questions, I may or may not
be able to answer them.

I believe you can grow ginger outside the tropics if you can give
it an environment that's suitable enough for it to survive the winter.

HTH,
Maren
