At this moment I have about 6 pigeon Pea shrubs. They are growing very slowly. In my area I am supposed to start them in December but I am doing an experiment to find out if they can get to maturity before cold weather arrives.

My shampoo ginger is growing very well in part shade. I use it when I am in the garden for washing my hands and face. I use it for shampoo also. It is very interesting because the flower looks like a red pine-cone and the little flowers are a pale yellow, resembling a small orchid.

I live in zone 9 Florida USA. My pigeon peas are doing very well. They sprout on their own if I broadcast the seeds. They can be transplanted or left where they have sprouted. They serve my garden in many ways: Food, (squirrels like them too). As climbing trellis for cucumbers and support for tomatoes. They provide semi-shade for some trees. They also amend the soil and nurture other plants. I discovered that the humming birds like to visit their flowers.
