A quick update on the plants in my window garden.
The potato I am growing in a 5 gallon bucket is really starting to take off. Potatoes seem to grow slowly until all the sudden they grow quickly. Maybe it has to do with them having enough leaves to catch the sun. I am planning to get some straw and bury the stem since I hear that makes the plant want to make more potatoes. We'll see what happens.
The mint plant is slowly starting to come back. It has maybe 5 - 10 shoots starting to grow leaves. A far cry from how it was before it died off, but on its way back to health.
There is a cilantro starting to grow in the pot I'm growing the kale in. Last year I had a cilantro growing in there and after it died, I planted some of the seeds in the pot. Guess now that winter is almost over, the seeds have decided its a good time to sprout.
I'm attempting to grow a ginger plant, but it hasn't decided to sprout any roots yet. I have it sitting with its base in some water. That is supposed to encourage things to sprout I think. So far no luck.
