The final ginger harvest. Minus the smaller bits I replanted in two large pots (after refreshing the soil) for this season's growing. I brought this pot inside in the fall so I could harvest as needed throughout the winter without freezing, which worked well.
Growing ginger was one of last year's success stories and I plan on doing it every year. The plants make a great greenery plant if you're looking for something for a patio grouping. You can start with grocery store ginger root--just soak it for 24 hours in water to remove the anti-sprouting compound. Bury maybe an inch deep and be patient (it took three weeks last year to put up a stalk). My pots are 2 foot deep, but you can go half that no problem.
