Perfect weekend for garden planning and ordering. A good six inches of snow down and a little more to come. Temps consistently below zero, so not a lot of melting.

Got a pineapple at Home Depot this year. The past two years I have left it to late.

The ginger root appears to have rooted and the stalk is a good six inches tall.

Found Whiffletree Farms and really excited by the selection and information. And they have a strong endorsement from the Tree Hustler

This really present a lot of interesting plants I’ve been hesitant to try. A kiwi vine in Canada, seriously?

On my list: replacement columnar apples, or something else in that style. Since the ones I have have not really fruited, so I want to go with another type. That gets me into dwarf rootstock talk and even exotic combo grafted trees.

On the ginger front a slight twist. The first piece that had sprouted died off. I think I cooked it with the plant light after it only getting kitchen light. But the second piece took over and has caught up if not passed it. A very good sign.

Planted some arugula for company.

Mild dry winter so far. Nothing below 0*F.

Lots of greenhouse planning. Best so far http://bcgreenhouses.com
