A month ago, I bought a piece of ginger at Super G Mart in Greensboro because I wanted to infuse some simple syrup to make a cocktail. And I intentionally got one that looked like it was inclined to sprout. I used the ends that didn’t look sprout-y to make the ginger syrup and put the other bit in a pot of dirt on the patio.

When night time temps started dropping last week, I brought the pot in the house.

Lookit!!
