I dreamed for years regarding my strawberry plant crawling into my window, it was sending out runners, I now have French Strawberry plants. Okay Jo Jo if you want send the picture with the seed and plant to me directly to my email address. I will ask John Trager, Now I really want to know. Guessing doesn't count. Tell him where it was found, in what state and city you purchasedi, and Nursery. I can't wait to find out. It not growing like a vine to me, it is growing too straight.The leaves do remind me a plants that I do have, and I just saw the seeds for the first time Mon. so perhaps? Norma He's pretty good at this an very accurate.

I do sentinal beach combing, write down and keep track of everything that washes up on the beach. Years ago I went to Florida for the seabean convention, yes, it's real, every October in Coco beach. One of the attendees works cleaning the beach. She had found a "brick". Threw it in the dumpster at the park. Well, when we found out we all HAD to go and look. So we loaded up in 3 cars, drove across town, PAID to get into the park and proceeded to pull everything out of the dumpster she had thrown in. We were looking at bottles, big chunks of something we tried to break open by dashing it against the parking lot, the "brick", which was a very well-wrapped package of very high grade marijuana. It was pretty stinky and rotten. But did that stop us? Oh no, we all had to smell it, touch it. So here we are, a bunch of old farts in a parking lot, professors, lawyers, nurses, throwing around stuff that had washed up on the beach and playing with a couple of pounds of rotted marijuana. The people at the hotel had a good time watching us but luckily noone called the police. I do not know how we would have explained that one!! Honestly officer, we're out here in the pitch dark digging through a dumpster with a couple of pounds of marijuana because we're at a seabean convention!!! Do you think they would have thrown us in jail or just the nut ward? I gotta make reservations for next year, that's a fun convention. Tally HO!

They are perennial as long as the rhizome/root doesn't freeze or rot and turn mushy. I know they are hardy to zone 9a outdoors in a pot. I am in a zone 8b now and had this outdoors in its pot under a metal carport roof (no sides). It freezes here- got into the upper teens a few times last winter. I thought I might lose it but it returned! It is smaller than it was. It may need repotting or less sun. My last property haf too much shade. This one has too much sun lol (except out in the wooded parts). I really think this ginger likes full morning sun and dappled afternoon shade. Too much shade it gets leggy, too much sun seems to stunt it.

No suggestions here but also wondering about posts. On Larri's post about selling a quilt, I replied, submitted and nothing. So I answered again, submitted and nothing. Now a few hours later, there are my two answers. Gremlins at work??? Theresa
