I'm trying to move it all to a new bed in my back yard. Every day I find a new little ginger leaf poking up through the ground and I dig up the root. It makes a great back drop for colored annuals. Mine is yellow and green. What plant is that in the last picture you posted? I love how nice and tall it is.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664980516440458792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-5316857042957283252014-05-03T20:29:21.819-07:002014-05-03T20:29:21.819-07:00I suppose all trees are a bit messy but I would ra...I suppose all trees are a bit messy but I would rather live with some mess than be without them.Susan Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323206599839838089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-50881729072998483542014-05-03T20:28:25.568-07:002014-05-03T20:28:25.568-07:00Ginger is quite pretty.

It will be a bit bare for a while but he assured me it will grow back. He also cut pathways into the huge amounts of ginger and other tropicals. It makes it so much easier to clean up now and also gives Bentley little trails to follow. He loves it!Susan Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323206599839838089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-22101391538376117492014-05-03T20:21:37.266-07:002014-05-03T20:21:37.266-07:00We tried to trap the possum, but he (or she) manag...We tried to trap the possum, but he (or she) managed to get the bait without getting trapped.

They look so much better when they are clean and tidy. Our ginger froze back this year. It's beginning to come back, but for now there is a gaping hole in that area of the garden.
