ginger!!

I thought this was never going to sprout and about ready to dump the pot (threw out the box planter of Carrots which was not growing well at all, just yesterday, I am becoming ruthless!) but it is sprouting now! I am so excited. I know this plant will do well in the shade of my balcony, need more like that.

The picture is not great, I can't get my camera to focus on the green stem instead of the rim of the pot behind it, but will get better pictures when the foliage opens.
