Growing ginger is fun. I simply bought some, cut and planted straight into the soil. Some months later it had grown and covered a lot of space giving me fantastic yield. No fertilizer or any additive yet I got abundant harvest. What a super crop! ❤😊
That’s fantastic!
It is a really great thing to grow, and it’s really fun and rewarding as well. I’m glad you did so well!
Cool
😊
I'm in Devine, southwest of San Antonio. I grow store ginger and turmeric every year. I just soak the rhizomes o Enright and plant the nest day. In the late fall, when the leaves dry out, I harvest them by cutting off the dry leaves and dumping out the dirt. It varies from year to year how much I get. Buen Dia!
That’s excellent! Can I ask you a question about where you get your ginger? You’re not too far away from me and I’ve always been curious as to why the soaking method has never worked for me. I’ve kind of thought it’s due to where I get my ginger to grow from at the store. Every time I soak in water, they just turned to mush within 24 hours And nothing ever sprout. Particularly turmeric. I get mine from my local H-E-B, are you getting them there as well? I feel like everything in this area is sprayed very heavily with sprout inhibitors and that may be why no matter how much soaking I do that dies for rats before it begins to sprout!
I mainly grow ginger for the leaves, you're right, ginger leaves is great in strir fry, soup,etc,..my wife doesn't do any gardening, but she loves my ginger leaves in her cooking, great informative video on how to/ grow ginger👍, ..keep on digging my friend. 😁
Thank you so much! That’s awesome! I’m unfortunately the only one in my house that likes it in food but they do like it in tea!
I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Thanks never knew about the leaves in a stirfry
Very tasty stuff! If you use them just make sure to cut them up small because they can be very fibrous!
@@michaeleastwood6755 new for me tooo
It’s tasty and subtle! It can be chewy though, well the stems. The leaves too but if they are smaller pieces I find them not too bad at all!
"I'm always learning" is arguably one of the best phrases one can say about themselves.
I couldn’t agree more!
I think the minute that we stopped learning is the minute we start messing everything up!
The rule is you gotta kill it a few times before you grow it right... Lol. Definitely my case with spices. Tomatoes and peppers not so much. They have cat energy. 😂
@doreenspears8427 😂 I think both statements are very true!
Thank goodness killing vegetable plants in a crime, I’d be serving multiple back-to-back life sentences if it was!
@@TexasGardenDoc 😂😂😂
Lol
Good morning from the State of Georgia, I am a Military retired soldier with a lot of time on my hands so I started gardening with great success with watermelon, okra, peppers, squash, daikon, collards, mustards, and now I got to do some ginger after watching your videos, they were very informative. Keep up the great work you do and may God continue to bless you and your family!
Howdy from Texas!
First, I’d like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for my family’s freedom as well as the rest of our great country!
Sounds like you’ve got a good plot of stuff growing over there! I unfortunately never had much luck with daikons…. I’m not sure why, but I just can’t seem to get them to grow at all! Lol
I’m really excited this is encourage you to grow some ginger! Once you get it going, it really is easy to grow, and understanding your climate makes it even easier. I’m sure after a season or two you’ll be growing lots of it!
If you have any questions or problems along the way, just reach out. I’d love to help you out wherever I can . May you and yours be blessed as well and thank you so much!
@@TexasGardenDoc Thanks so very much for your reply!🙏
It was my pleasure! And I do mean what I said if you have any questions or issues, I’m always here to help!
@@TexasGardenDoc Thanks!🙏
Cool , nice growing
I didn’t realize ginger leaves are edible. I love using ginger root in my dishes and home made remedies. Thanks!!!
Ginger is definitely a powerful little plant! I’m glad I could contribute to your uses. Thank you so much for taking the time to say so!
OMG - I’m so glad I clicked on this. For years, I could never figure out why neglected ginger was happy to sprout in my apartment but would fail miserably if I tried to actually grow it. This video was awesome and perfectly organized.
I’m in NYC where it’s always humid. Potted ginger should love the summers here and can hopefully hold on through the winter if kept cozy inside with artificial light. I’ll soon find out!
I’m so glad you found it helpful!
I had the same problem for several years. I tried all the other water methods to grow it as well, and nothing worked. One day I found an old piece a Ginger and planted it, and it grew. So I tried repeating the process that it had done by itself, and it works every time!
It should absolutely do well there! You can definitely bring it inside and protect it over the winter, or you can also plant way more plants and you think you need. I just harvested them before the cold starts, while starting others for the next season.
If you have any questions along the way, just reach out, I’d love to help!
I live in NY for over 40 years and moved to the southern Florida last year. I finally have a small yard to plant. When I looked up on how to plant ginger and your video piped up.
The steps on how to plant ginger are comprehensive and clearly illustrated. Your recap is outstanding. Thank you for sharing.
Although April is kind of late to start, I will see where it leads me to.
I bet that’s a world of difference moving to South Florida from New York! Completely different climate!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate that. Once you do get started, let me know if you have questions. I’d love to help you be successful!
It’s OK if you start now you can get some of the harder stuff out of the way, which is getting it sprouted And start it growing. And if winter comes before it’s big enough to harvest, you can always keep it in a pot and bring it inside over winter. Then you’ll have a real jump on the season next year.
I’d love to hear how this turns out for you as well!
@@TexasGardenDoc Thank you so much for your encouragement and inspiration. I put a few in a cloth planter and I will let you know how it goes.
I’m glad I could help! I’m very excited to see how it turns out for you. Best wishes and can’t wait to hear!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m in Florida & I absolutely love ginger. My husband’s “Granny Mae” used to grow tons of it. She was so tickled that I loved ginger- every time we would swing by for a visit, we’d leave with a ton of fresh and a mason jar packed with some of her dehydrated slices. She also made these ginger candies for the kids at Christmas. She passed away a few years ago 😢. I’ve missed her (& her ginger)! I can’t wait to grow my own. She used to tell me it was “the easiest thing to grow”, however, she was also one of those people who could put a stick in the ground and ☀️BEHOLD☀️gorgeous flowers or a full harvest of vegetables magically sprung out! Needless to say, I have the exact opposite effect on plants. 🤫I’m currently on “Basil’s” most wanted list for being an egregious serial killer🤣. I walk past plants & they tremble then shrivel 🤭. I’ll keep trying though 🤷🏻♀️
First of all, it was my pleasure to share.
Second of all, I love your sense of humor, you gave me a good laugh this morning!
I’m sorry to hear about her passing but I’m very happy to hear about the excitement she instilled in you about things like this!
I do know exactly what you mean. My father and my grandmother were very much the same way. It seem like everything they did, or everything they didn’t do., they still have the luscious beautiful plants bearing all kinds of fruit and vegetables!
Basil is one of the few things I finally have really good success with consistently! I found it with the kind of heat we have in our areas during the summer. It really need some shade, we’re just wilts and goes away!
The truth is, is once you get used to this plant after the first few years it really is pretty easy to grow. With where you’re at I would highly recommend giving it some good shade all through summer from about noon to four in the afternoon, if that’s not possible, at least make sure that it shaded from about 3 o’clock on one from the setting sun. The heat and UV in our areas during the summer really slows the plant down and can burn leaves back badly . Once temperatures start to cool off, however I see the most amount growth from here on out.
I do hope you give a try, and if you have any questions at all, doesn’t even have to be about Ginger, let me know. I’d love to help you out if I can!
😂I have the same effect on plants. Only thing I've really had success with is sweet potatoes.
😂 it can absolutely be a struggle! There’s just so many variables that are out of our control!
@@TexasGardenDoc thank you for the recommendations & kind words!! I have always wanted to have an herb & vegetable garden because I really love to cook & it would be so great just to have them available without a trip to the grocery store! Not to mention, how satisfying actually growing my own food seems. It really shouldn’t be so hard, I live in Florida- we have good soil & good weather. I’m going to try again because I really want to do and I’m only on 1 “wanted” list and it feels a bit underachieving 😂. On a side note. I was thinking about contacting our local Craig’s list voodoo priestess just to make sure it’s not a curse that’s lead to my plant killing 🤣 (not really but I’m leaving my options open) .
I will most certainly be taking you up on your offer to answer more questions. I will try hard to not make you regret that 🤣💯 Thank you so much
😂 some of the best comments ever, hands down!
Florida can be a bit tricky when growing for sure. There are places that have great soil places that have horrible soil in places. Great soil that have horrible soil in certain spots.
Now I’ve never grown anything in Florida, heck, I think the only thing I have ever grown in Florida is a sunburn! However, I am very familiar with the climate and the way the soils work. What I’m not familiar with is how to grow things there at times. Most things are pretty universal given temperature and soil types, but there are nuances that you just don’t get without growing things there. I absolutely would love to help anyway, I can!
If you’re looking for someone that has grown very successfully in Florida, and even written a few books about it, I’ll be it it’s not what you would consider your traditional Home Garden, but the principles are very sound, I recommend you check this guy out. His RUclips channel is called David the good. He does lectures on growing food in Florida both in the north and southern parts, and he also has written a couple books, one of them being about his Florida food forest that he grew for several years. He no longer lives in Florida. He lives in Alabama, but I would say most of his gardening knowledge Comes from adapting to Florida, soils and temperatures.
He’s also kind of entertaining as well! Lol.
Like I said always ask you for sure, and I’ll help wherever I can, but he’s a great resource about growing in Florida!
I live in Southeastern WA, and I've been getting into gardening.
I live in an apartment, so I'm pretty limited, mostly using a hydroponics grower to germinate seeds.
I've also been saving chicken bones, making stock from them, then dehydrate the bones and ground them into bone meal to be used as a soil amendment for my plants.
My mom had taught me a lot about gardening when i was a kid, and she had grown up on a farm. However, that was about 30 years ago, so it's like I have to rediscover all the stuff I've forgotten. She died in 2006 from cancer at age 54, so she's no longer around to refresh my memory. On the other hand, learning it again is a great way for me to preserve my memories of her, as a smell, or feel of a plant or soil will suddenly transport me back to a memory of gardening with her.
I'm glad videos like this exist. City people scoff at farmers, that is, until their bellies grumble and the shelves at the store are bare. This is the kind of knowledge worth having. A far better investment of one's time and money than most college degrees these days, for sure.
First of all, thank you so much for your kind comment. That means the world to me!
I’m sorry to hear about your mom, and I can completely relate to that. When I was in my early teens, I spent a lot of time with my grandmother, who always grow garden, they had cattle chickens, horses, everything you could think of. She spent a lot of time trying to teach me to grow into can and preserve, and I always did it. The problem was I was a kid and I didn’t pay very close attention. For me, it was just work. After she passed, I realized how much I missed gardening, heck, I didn’t even though I loved it! And I felt so dumb for not paying attention when she tried to give me that knowledge. Luckily, a lot of it did sink in, and I remembered some, but you’re right I’ll never pick a fresh strawberry without thinking of her. And that’s a great thing!
This is my first year to use the Christmas turkey to do the same. I made turkey stock, and turkey bonemeal. It feels good, not to waste those things, and they’re so helpful as well!
It sounds like you’re pretty savvy at what you’re doing already, you can definitely grow these, and if you got a hydroponic set up, maybe add a few heat mats, and you’re ready to go!
If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask, I’d love to help! And you are so right, everybody’s just a dumb farmer until somebody’s hungry!
The bones into meal! How fantastic!
It was my first time, making my own bone meal, and so far it works really well in the garden, too. I’ll definitely be making more when I run out in the future!
I’m a city people, but grew up and worked on a farm. I love the farm life. But can’t afford it.
It is true that the farm life can be quite expensive. Especially if you want to raise livestock. The feed and upkeep can be quite expensive nowadays. To some degree gardening can be the same way. There is definitely a cost to begin, but once you’ve done that with some hard work, the cost dropped to very little. There are also lots of ways you can get started pretty cheaply with gardening, but sometimes the cheapest ways to get started can even be too expensive.
Hopefully you can find a way to even start just one pot to grow something, if that’s what you’d like to do. It’s well worth it, I’m just taking a step in that direction and Lead you were you thought you’d never go!
I hope that you can find a way to start to do a little bit of what you love, you deserve to have that it’s quite rewarding!
This is great! I live in Thailand, where there are around 100+ types of ginger. I love this video and how easy you make the instructions for growing.
Oh man, you guys have some of the most amazing ginger K you for your kind words as well!
Ron, thank you so much, for calling his not only incorrect comment out, but also his aggressive, and also ignorant comment as well.
I’ve been cold some pretty nasty things on here, and made fun of told I was stupid, an idiot, all kinds of really nasty things beyond that too. If you look around enough, you’ll find them I don’t delete them and less they use cursing or something like that. However, this person obviously knew that by spelling stupid the way he did it would not get caught by RUclips and blocked. But the jokes on him, because I’ll delete and block him from the channel now.
If he is a botanist, I hope he doesn’t do any official work anywhere. Or at least, I hope that he learns that if you make statements that are so easily verifiably untrue, that he checks himself before spouting off and insulting someone in this community.
Jonathan, I apologize, And he will not be coming here again.
Oh, how much fun I would have trying to raise 100+ types of ginger. It is a good thing I only know they kind we get in the grocery in the USA.
That would be something, wouldn’t it!
I’ve been growing ginger for decades in what was titled: grow zone 6b. Now we are retitled in this area…we are now Zone 7a. My growing beds Did not change much. Still growing great ginger - give it a try….even if you think you can’t…Most LIKELY you CAN❣️If your zone numbers are really low, start some now, in pot, inside near a window. UP POT if needed, Transplant outdoors when you sense frost for season has finally fled in fear of climbing temps. It’s a very pleasant plant, safe around pets….sometimes I grow in living room in winter simply for their presence.
You Do A great job on this channel. Love it.
Yes, the zone changes are interesting! I was in zone 9A for as long as I can remember, and then I was moved to 8B, and now I’m back to 9A!
Of course, nothing is really changed at all in most cases. Once you’ve been guarding for a while, you kinda know what your climate does like you said in your comment. You start to sense when things are getting warm or cool and know about when it will happen.
You’re absolutely correct about all of the above Ginger is an absolute pleasure to grow, and for the most part is pretty easy as well!
@@TexasGardenDoc I live in zone 3. they have upgraded us to 4 and 5. I don't believe them as I know we sometimes have winters in the -20 to - 30 degrees F. We have had a killing frost as late as mid June even though our usual last killing frost is May 15. In the fall the killing frost can come as early as Sept 17 and as late as early November. While mid to late October is typical for the first killing frost of fall. By sticking with Zone 3 tolerant plants and treating anything for a warmer zone as if it needs protection has served me well in my flower, herb and over wintering plants. Thank you for the educational video.
Yes, I’m finding the same thing as well, just slight being a different direction.
I was always in zone 9 an until I think it was 2018. Then they switched us over to zone 8B now I’m back in zone9A.
What I’m finding is, I’m truly kind of a crossover, I have the cold of 8B and the heat of 9a. So I kind of crossed over between each ones as far as planking times go although the frost have been so random in the last two years it’s hard to tell where that falls as far as the first frost is. I think you keep doing exactly what you’re doing. Go by what you know it hasn’t changed that much!
You get every detail covered in a short amount of time. I like that. Informative and complete.....thanks!❤
You are very kind! And thank you so much for saying so, it means the world to me.
If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask. I always like to help out wherever I can. I’m usually around.
Thank you again for your kind comment!
"Cut to the chase" crystal clear and definitive tips, quick and easy to understand. I like the short videos! Good work! Thank you!
David, thank you so much. That is extremely kind of you. I’ve always taken into consideration how others learn and live. I spent a good part of my youth trying to cater to all that I could. I like to help people! What I realized is that the best way for me to help anyone is to be me, because it’s the only thing I’m really good at.
Thank you again! And thank you so much for taking the time to let me know.
I like your chicken, make your own vids. Very Info
Thank you! I may do that soon. I have to say I don’t know as much about confined chickens (what we have now) than about free range like we used to have. Maybe I’ll put a few together! Thanks so much for commenting!
Maybe look for a video that uses a robot? Those seem more abbreviated with no personality.
❤️
I also did the same with Organic turmeric. The plant is very ornamental, and the flower was amazing.
I’m just now starting to grow turmeric. I’ve not grown it before bout man it really is a beautiful plant on top of how amazing the rhizome is!
I am new to gardening. It has really been a challenge to me as I seem to kill every houseplant we have, lol. Thank God my son is helping - that boy can grow anything!
It really can be tough at first. We see all these people with beautiful gardens and outs are eaten, bug infested or dying. But don’t give up! Part of what makes a garden successful is understanding your space over time. It will come. My father can grow anything effortlessly, and I am always trying to adapt to a new situation. Your son has a gift, and an awesome one! You will get there too, just keep growing!
Just discovered your channel and am super geeked to find a Texan who grows! Most of the videos I’ve found on YT are ppl with greenhouses up north. Anyway, came here for the ginger tutorial, and staying for all the other wisdom. Thanks again!
I’m so glad you found it, and welcome! It’s always great to speak with a fellow Texan!
I’m editing a video right now, that at the end of it talks a little bit about exactly what you just mentioned. Everyone seems to think that in Texas you can grow anything everywhere all the time, and they don’t really understand the struggle we have is gardeners here in Lone Star State. We have everything ‘mountains’ to deserts, thick evergreen forests, coastal plains, beaches, and valleys. Typically the spring in the fall are like playing the lottery I’m trying to plant for the new season, and for most of us, a greenhouse is only useful for about two months out of the year.
Hopefully as I get more time I can make more videos about things just like that.
Did you ever have any questions at all about anything even if it’s not related to the video don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m usually around him and always love to help!
Just found you out here looking for how to grow and harvest ginger. Fact you are a fellow Texan is a big plus because you already know how to grow things in this climate. Very informative and detailed without speeding through and missing the steps. Look forward to seeing more from your channel.
I always love hearing from fellow Texans, welcome!
I’m glad you found it and I’m glad you found it helpful as well. He can definitely be challenging to grow in Texas. I actually thought about making a video about it. Lol.
Everyone seems to think that anything and everything grows in Texas all year round, but they don’t know is it the spring and fall or so up and down and random, in some years you might not be able to grow a thing during that time, another years, the heat is so high that even heat loving plants like to die! Lol.
Thank you for your kind comments and I look forward to seeing you in the future as well!
I'm also loving that you're showing how we can grow from store-bought ginger. I'm hoping you have a bunch more of these videos? It's a great starting point for newbies who've never grown anything & also a way for folks to start providing for themselves
I’m working on a few right now! I like it too because it’s easier than having to buy seeds, which can be confusing. The idea is to make it easier to just get started growing! Thank you again!
@@TexasGardenDoc Would love a "how to .."on gathering seeds from your OWN plants. Always wanted to rather than buy but always seem to miss it. Every other channel seems to assume we all know how to do it.
Hi there!
Yes, he’s saving is a very important part of gardening at least for me. Actually, my very first video I made was on saving seeds, it’s not very thorough and I wasn’t even sure how to put a video like that together, but I went over a few of the most simple ones to save.
This year as I come through harvest and certain plants, I’ll be filming and talking about how you can do that. Whether it be by saving seeds propagating the plant, or letting it perennialize.
I like to show the entire process in most cases, so it takes me a long time to put videos together. However, I’ve considered compartmentalizing them a little bit better. That way I can get them out quicker and it’s easier for people to digest.
If you have any questions about saving seed, let me know, I can probably help!
Great video
Thank you Priscilla I’m glad you liked it! I hope it helps as well!
Just saw you for the first time. I’ve been gardening forever but never grew ginger. We have lots of deck to house plants in giant pots. Ginger may just become a new addition. Thank you for your very clear and informative video! Great job. Thank you.
That’s very good to hear! After gardening for many years, it’s always so exciting to find something new to plant that you’ve never grown before. I think that’s why I like to try out different varieties of things even in the common vegetables. Lots of space for lots of pots is definitely a great way to grow it!
If you have any questions along the way or run into issues, let me know. I’d also love to hear how it turns out!
Great and precise video! I live in Virginia and going to start growing ginger among other things. I'm mostly into growing flowering plants but wanting to try my hand at growing other things like ginger and tumeric. I'll be using your channel for lots of info lol. Thx and blessings 🙏 😊
I grow ginger in Indiana. Started with store bought ginger and saved "seed" from my crop.
Barbara, That’s fantastic! It’s definitely well worth growing and I think you’ll enjoy it. Even from a purely cosmetic perspective ginger is a beautiful plant just in the foliage alone. It has such a fine texture. It really add something to the landscape for a flowering area as well. Plus you get the benefit of actually have a great ginger to eat, too!
I hope I can give you the videos you need to help you grow lots of other things. And thank you so much for all your kind words and bless you as well. If you have any questions along the way, just let me know!
That’s awesome! Indiana definitely has its challenges for growing ginger as well. It’s so cool to be able to grow your own and save your own seeds to grow the next year as well isn’t it? Thank you so much for the comment, I really appreciate it!
Enjoyed the ginger tips ❤
I’m so glad that you found a video helpful! Also, thank you for taking the time to say so, that means the world to me. If you have any questions or issues once you get started, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to help you be successful!
I live in Colorado and I love cooking gardening and Texans. New to your channel. Learned a lot here! Thank you!
Welcome! It’s great to have you here!
Colorado’s a truly beautiful state, and really great people as well. I’m glad you liked it, if you ever have any questions about anything, I’m usually here to help so don’t hesitate to reach out!
Gee thanks for this mate ..just found you. Hubby is Asian and never grown a thing in his life until he met me. I'm a retired farmer now but have been growing things all my life way down here in The Antipodes. Both my parents loved growing plants ; Mum did the house garden and Dad grew the fruit and vegies, and my grandparents were fantastic. Grandpa was a WW1 veteran from Palestine, Egypt and Syria (all on horseback). They were married after WW1 and grandma moved to his farm. They knew the importance of being self sufficient, which wasn't lost on my Dad. They grew a garden an acre large, every year when they had children, and when the children left, they continued with the same size. As they didn't need all the food they grew, they would load up the car each week (after WW2 as they only had horse and cart prior to that) and take it the 15 miles into town and give so much of it away to the elderly who couldn't grow gardens anymore. They did that all through the Great Depression and again through WW2 and continued for all the years after that too...after WW2 they had a car.
Then when Grandpa died Grandma kept up with the garden and produce and still took a carload of vegies and fruit into the elderly every week until she died in a car accident on her way to do her weekly delivery. I remember many times helping them in the garden and climbing the plum, apple, pear, peach and nectarine trees to pick the fruit for them. We lived across the road from them until I was 10 then we moved away, but my uncle and his family moved into our house and so my cousins kept up the help that we'd provided before.
I never knew them to grow ginger though, so I am glad you have shown us all this. Hubby now tries growing things and often watches YT videos but we live in a tiny place with no room so have to rely on pots. love how you work mate. Just keep on making these for people like hubby.
Wow! That is truly an amazing story. Thank you so much for sharing! It’s so strange today. People can’t realize that their lives are attached to those that lived in a very different time, had a very different work ethic, and a very different view of life. My grandmother, my father‘s mother, tried to teach me for a very long time. She always preserved whatever she grew, and she always kind of knew those things. It seemed like no one else knew. Of course I was just a young child, and I didn’t really see is something special. Although now I realize what she was trying to do. It took me a long time to come around, and by the time I did, she was gone. I couldn’t ask the questions I should’ve asked years ago. But somehow some of those things stuck in my head. Maybe I was paying more attention than I thought I was. But I do know that there aren’t many days ago by that I don’t think, I wish I could just ask her to be here with me again.
Such great memories, and I think she is the one, and possibly my father that inspired me to dig deeper and all of this many years ago.
It sounds like your hubby is a pretty great dude! I hope I can keep making videos that help inspire and give him a new ideas. Ginger is absolutely one of my favorites, and I’ve never known how fun it was and rewarding. It was to grow it, if I hadn’t tried!
Thank you so much. This was such an amazing comment! I wish you and your husband, the best, and if you ever have a need for more to the point, if he ever has a question, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to help!
@@TexasGardenDoc Wow...we have things in common don't we. Yes, a different era for sure. I'm just so glad I got to live in it because if I hadn't, I would not have gotten to know how to bottle fruit and vegetables, make jams, marmalade, (love ginger marmalade), make relishes, sauces, freeze food and so much more. My grandparents all lived through 2 world wars and the great depression so knowing how to make food last a long time, was essential to live. I feel so lucky to have had that knowledge passed on to me as I applied as many of those skills to bringing up 5 boys and money is always tight the more kids you have (2 were my steppies). I just wish that those skills were allowed to be taught in schools because there seems to be a generation they have missed, and city living does not help.
Thank you so much for sharing....I'm a big fan.
That’s very kind of you to say!
It is true that a fundamental thing that was present in everyone’s life during the world wars was how to make sure you were self sufficient, or could at least provide yourself food when you needed it. When I was in school, they used to have a class that taught the basics of building stuff growing stuff working with animals, things like that it was not the most in-depth of class, but it did give you an introduction to how things worked.
That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore unless you seek it out.
It is good to know that interest in growing your own food and being a little bit more self-sufficient has spiked in the last few years. Hopefully that Trang will continue as I do think it’s also invaluable knowledge!
@@TexasGardenDoc I totally agree. I remember when I was at primary school in the late 50s, every class was given a patch of ground along the back of the sports ground to grow some veggies. It all went well until the veggies began to be almost ready for harvest, and then when we rocked up on Monday every single vegetable had been taken and the entire plot had been trashed. The school never did the garden plots again, but the worst thing was the affect the destruction had on the children. I personally think that children in schools should all have the opportunity to be taught to grow food, and how to preserve it for long keeping. There are a lot of us oldies around who have those skills and schools ought to be taking advantage of it.
I do love your videos so please keep them coming. Blessings to you and all your family.
That’s very sad that a few people’s actions can have such devastating effects. But I guess that is the way of the world now isn’t it.
I’ve often thought about volunteering at the local schools to help them understand and grow some food so that the children at least get exposed to it. It’s definitely on my list of things to do!
Texas Garden Doc, with knowledge so rare,
Taught me the secrets of growing with care.
Ginger was the plant that he chose to impart,
Its cultivation, he made it sound so smart.
With his words and his wisdom, so full of delight,
He shared his expertise, day and night.
I was amazed at the things that I learned,
My love for gardening, it just got a big burn.
So here's to the Doc, and all that he's done,
Making gardening a pleasure and so much fun.
Amen, Hallelujah, let the praises be heard,
For the Texas Garden Doc, a true green-thumbed herd!
Thanks for the lessons, I'll put them to use,
And watch as my garden begins to diffuse.
So here's to the Doc, and to ginger so fine,
May they grow tall, and bring joy all the time.
Wow! You absolutely win for the coolest comment I’ve ever received. First of all I’m humbled and second. I’m grateful. Thank you so much for taking the time to do something like this, I’m actually sort of speechless. Which is a very rare condition for me! Lol.
You truly have may not my day, not my month, but maybe my year!
I truly appreciate you!
@@TexasGardenDoc Native Texan Texas master gardener here, just found this. I am also
a master dietitian/biologist/biochemist and budding herbalist. I worked 15 years in medical research at 3 Texas medical schools and developed EI/MCS, now called 20th Century Disease or chemical HIV. So, none of the Western wonder drugs seem to work on me, so I started taking herbalist classes. I should have been born in 1850.
So, I am Christian, seriously so and listen for the Holy Spirit to say something to me. He's been telling me for a couple weeks I should be growing turmeric and ginger. Then here your video shows up.
I have written poetry and was impressed by that guy's effusiveness. Very inspiring.
I am going to try to start a regeneration station as a more intelligent option to nursing homes. I hope to get people living on the land and being involved in raising healthy organic non-GMO. food.
Hope you have a video on growing turmeric. Also medicinal mushrooms. Blessings from Zone 8a, Central Texas hill country, USA. Oh, I'm Katy. Paul's wife.
Yes, I am a poet, too, and loved your poem.
Katy, I’m so glad you found me!
Is quite strange how HE can work things out for us. I’m always astounded by the things he sees inside of each one of us, and yet we don’t even know!
I’ve often said I should’ve been born in the 1800s as well. There’s just something about it, this yearning!
I’m so sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but I agree with you 100%. There is so much that has been put here for us. They will take care of all the things we need. We just have to see them you have put together quite a résumé, and I imagine you will likely succeed in the very big way in your vision!
If you have any questions, or ideas, don’t hesitate to reach out!
I have not seen this for a while, and now you got me excited about preparing and growing some ginger for this next year. Keep up the great work.
That’s fantastic!
I hope you get a chance to grow some, and that you bring in an enormous harvest as well! If you have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. Best of luck to you this year, in growing your own ginger!
Great video love how you explain things and do a recap of everything that you covered. Enjoy the outtakes at the end as well 😂! Thank You!
Thank you for the kind words, I truly appreciate that!
I’m glad you enjoyed it and I really hope it helps you out as well. I like doing the recap simply because that’s how I learned, it kind of reinforces it for me so I figure maybe it’ll help some other people out there too! if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask I’m always here to help
I took ginger from the store & cut it into multiple pieces & put it partially in water & I’ve had it growing nicely indoors :)
Zone 6 in nc. You’d be shocked how much can be grown here. Citrus trees even… so much
That’s awesome! I bet you are a very attentive gardener. Citrus takes some forethought. Out there!
I tried the water thing and it just kept rotting for me. Full disclosure i am NOT an attentive gardener, but I know that works for loads of people!
I bet next year you have bumper crop of ginger!
That’s fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your experience too. Let me ask you this, did you provide any heat or light for your ginger pieces? Thanks again for sharing!
I was brought up around farmers who planted ginger as a number one crop yearly. When it was the reaping time they would have people comes in to peel and wash the ginger, and dry them in the sun for weeks in the season. But with all that I never knew until I'm much older that ginger is so important in our lives.ginger is very good stomach ache and for heartburn.
That’s very cool!
Yes it really is so good for us! I use it to help fight off any kind of nasty ‘bug’ that may be going around as well as to help control my cholesterol a bit!
@@TexasGardenDoc I have no clue that ginger is good for cholesterol.
I’ve read several papers on the effects of ginger on cholesterol, and I was surprised as well!
Thank you so much for your detail on how to grow and harvest Ginger :) I appreciate you!
You were very kind! I’m glad you liked it and I really hope it helps you out as well. Once you give it a go if you have any questions at all, I’m always here to help so don’t hesitate to reach out!
I am definitely going to try your method of frying ginger. Thanks so much!
I’m glad you liked it, and I hope it helps you out!
Once you get started, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m always here to help!
I grew ginger when we lived in Louisiana and it grew so well, the pressure from the rhizome warped the plastic pot it was growing in. We're in Minnesota now and I have a piece of store-bought ginger that's sprouted. I'm going to use a wider bur shallower pot this time and put your suggestions to work. Glad I found your channel.
That’s a big change in climate! Sounds like you already got this under control too. If you have any questions when you get going let me know I’d love to help!
As a Northerner (we’re in Zone 5), I was hesitant to watch this video from Zone 8, but Texas Garden Doc offered some handy advice for us up here. I currently have plant in a pot that’s been growing for months- it’s about three feet tall. I’d heard that when the leaves die off, it’s time to harvest. The leaves have not died back but some have turned brown. TGD says that happens when it gets too cold. Sure enough, the pot has been on my glass porch where it’s in the low 50s at night. I had it out there for light, but now know warmth is more important, so into the house it came. I’m inspired now to do two things: “pot up” - transplant to a larger pot AND harvest a bit. Can’t wait to try it. As for transplanting, my compost pile is semi-frozen and under 9” of snow, so that’s my challenge. If I can extract some compost, get in the house to warm it up, I’ll pot up what Ihave and hope it keeps expanding. So inspired - thank you!
Polly, I’m so glad you stopped by! Thank you for your kind words as well!
Believe it or not, there are people in the comments growing it in the arctic regions! It sounds like you are on the right track as well. One thing I didn’t mention in the video is this; if when it’s growing inside you see the leaves getting ‘crisp’ at the edges, try spritzing it in the evenings with a little water. This helped a lot of people growing in Arizona.
If you have any questions at all, just let me know. I’d love to help!
Right on!
🤗
You're awesome man. Can't wait to follow you and learn more. Everyone should learn this stuff!
You’re very kind, thank you! I hope I can show you more things that help you in your journey and guarding as well. I do wish that people had more interest and things like growing your own food, or even just growing house plants. There’s something truly special about getting your hands dirty, and watching something grow out of the ground, that you planted!
Thank you for your time and knowledge😁 this was helpful ❤ you have a lovely property. Lots of love to you and your family 💖💖💖
It was my pleasure to share, and thank you so much for taking the time for such a kind comment as well!
If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I love to help people wherever I can.
We kinda like the place too, and I’m glad you do as well. Thank you so much for the best wishes!
You’re a gem! Rarely you find a RUclipsr who replies to all comments! I live in the UK, visited my sister in Florida, she’d grown ginger in a pot and convinced me to do the same. Didn’t know how to start! Your explanation on how to go about it is very informative, plus the recap at the end ….., invaluable! I tend to read comments whilst listening, of course one’s going to miss crucial stuff! So a million thanks for that! Going to the store to get me some ginger! I’ll update on how things go. Once again thank you! Gained a sub! 😉
You were very kind and I absolutely appreciate your subscription and you being here!
I do try to reply to all the comments personally. It can be difficult at times, but I feel like if people have questions I need to be the one to answer it if I can. I started this channel to try to help people learn how to easily grow things and not be so intimidated by gardening. I kind of feel like it’s my duty to continue that as far out as I can and that includes the comments. I’m hoping soon to start a place where everyone here can get together virtually and talk as questions propose ideas and I can help as well. There are so many people here that know way more than I do And they are willing to share which is fantastic!
I’m so glad you found the information helpful as well. With store-bought ginger it’s tough because you never really know what they’ve done to it that’s why I like to spread it the way that I do so I know what I’m planting will actually have a chance to grow.
If you have any questions at all or have any problems or issues, let me know. I’d love to help where I can! You can always reach out to me from my business email in the about section of my channel as well.
Thank you again, and I’m so happy to have you here!
Wow! I learned something! I’m a gardener and I never knew I could grow these! Looking forward to finding me a nice rhizome to plant! Thanks for the nice ginger tea idea too!
You are very welcome! I learn something new all the time as well. I think if we aren’t learning we aren’t growing. Thanks so much for your comment and I wish you lots of success!
Hiiii I am a Canadian married in Fiji to a farmer who is a wonderful teacher. I went from driving a pointiac Montana to riding a horse. I appreciate how you planted ginger. I am excited I am going to plant my ginger I drink it a lot and Fijians don't drink much ginger ale. They always ask me what that tastes like and I always open my bottle and let people taste it and tell of its benefits. I am a buyer of fresh ginger and use in my tea and coffee and cinnamon and garlic a lot I find help with inflammation in the knees as Fiji is a tropical climate unlike South Africa where I originally came from. I have a lot of land however cows and wild pigs and mongoose are our problems and my chickens eat our planted chili and flowers. Want to make my garden like yours. I love your space. It is very healthy and I pray a lot I will mix my prayer time with my gardening time. I have already bought my tools and gloves. I am glad I saw how you plant ginger. I wish I could grow apples but the weather does not permit. God bless you I have subscribed when I come back to town to internet area I will look out for your videos.
You are very kind, thank you! You do live in a truly beautiful place. I can tell you that! Critters getting into your garden can definitely be difficult to deal with. It’s a mix of wanted to make sure that you share your bounty with them, but they don’t take, all of it either!
I’ve been struggling with apples myself for several years, and I’m not nearly in the climate you are, so I can totally appreciate that! We have gotten some very strange freezes over the last couple of years, and about the only thing that I found that came good out of, it was the fact that I’ve had apples the last two years! 😂
Once you get started growing, if you have any questions at all about the ginger, don’t hesitate to reach out. Where you are you’ll definitely want to plant in containers, or at least in a small contained area. Ginger can spread like a weed where you are, so you have to make sure you can control it the way you want to. Like I said, don’t hesitate to reach out I’d love to help if I can! Oh, and thank you for the subscription as well I truly appreciate that!
Thanks great suggestions. The ginger root I purchased a few months ago did sprout. I looked while watching the video and I have some sprouting. Goint to pot them today. Chico Northern California
That’s fantastic! That’s exactly how I stumbled onto this method. I struggled for years, soaking in the water or letting it’s rotten water, and I only ended up with mushy ginger root! And I remembered some stuff I left in the cabinet, so I repeated the process that way, and it worked perfectly for me!
I know a lot of other people have great success using the water methods, but this is the one that’s most reliable for me.
If you have any questions along the way, you need any help just reach out. I’d love to help where I can!
Doc always so informative and love it! You're such a good teacher man! Your videos are truly fun to watch!
Mayheeeeeem! Thanks buddy!
How are you and the lovely wife doing?
Actually, I use so much of ginger in cooking, tea etc, etc., but never knew you could dry & use the leaves for tea. Thank you so much for the video which I gathered so much knowledge.
Keep it up. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That’s fantastic! I use quite a bit of ginger myself, especially in teas. I can’t remember who told me about the leaves so many years ago and the stems, but I’m glad they did! I use them all the time. Thank you so much for your kind comments, and I wish you all the best!
Thank you for doing this video! I live near Abilene and have been wanting to grow some ginger. I LOVE me some ginger!!!
It was my pleasure! It’s always great to hear from a fellow Texan as well!
Definitely give it a try. I absolutely love ginger myself and the stuff you grow home just tastes so good!
Once you get started, if you have any questions, just let me know, I’d love to help you out!
Oh my gosh I’m new to gardening and so excited to try this! I absolutely love how you have your garden / set up and the bright red chicken coop and yellow trellis/cages! It’s so bright and cheery! :)
Thank you so much you were so kind! I really appreciate that.
You should definitely give it a try. It really is a fun and rewarding plant to grow, and once you get it worked out for your area. It’s very easy to grow as well. Once you get started, if you have any issues with it at all or any questions, I’m always here to help. So don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to help you be successful!
Thank you for educating all of us new to gardening. Really encouraging to see how easy it is to start growing our own food 👍🏼
It’s my pleasure! In fact, that’s kind of the reason I started this whole channel. I was lucky enough to have someone that wanted to teach me about plants and how they work and how to grow them and use them. Unfortunately, I was a very young man and so I didn’t learn as much as I could’ve. So I spent many years trying to learn the things that could’ve easily been taught. The best part is is that although gardening can get really complicated if you make it that way, it’s really not, as complicated as it may seem. And that’s what I wanted to help people do to realize that just start planting something now and you’ll get something. Not to mention is very rewarding!
🙏💪🌱❤️🇺🇲
🤗👍❤️
Great instructions, brotha. Very simple to follow and your video wasnt too long. Great information and I love that you showed every step thoroughly.
I truly appreciate that, thank you! I have a tendency to talk too much, but I just like sharing to be honest! Lol.
A lot of people tell me they wish I would post more videos, and the truth is the reason it take so long to do them is because I try to to show every single step, if possible, especially the harvest. There’s so many videos telling you how to grow something but you never really see what they get out of it.
Thank you so much that was a very kind comment, and you made my day!
You deserve to massively blow up bro - that was amazing and ginger tea is my FAVORITE tea ever
I really appreciate the kind words, it means the world to me! I can’t disagree. Ginger tea is absolutely one of my favorites as well!
I drink as much of it as I possibly can!
Just getting ready to start growing ginger. Great information and show and tell! Love it!
That’s fantastic news! Super exciting to grow something new in the garden. Once you get going, if you have any questions all don’t hesitate to ask. I’d love to help you be successful!
I'm so glad I found this video! And your channel! I'm getting ready now to grow my own ginger!
Oh that’s fantastic! I really appreciate your kind words as well.
If you do start growing, if you have any questions at all or issues, let me know. I’d love to try to help out wherever I can!
This is an awesome video! I had no idea it was that easy, fun, and that the full plant can be used. 😀
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s true it is quite the amazing little plant. It’s got so many health benefits it’s super tasty and Yep, you can use every part of it! If you decide to give it a chance, and grow room, let me know if you have any questions I’d love to help!
Thank you! I have been watching many videos on how to grow ginger and I finally see the complete DIY❤🥰
Thank you for taking the time to say so here, I really appreciate that! I’m really glad it helped you, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to help!
Thank you for sharing this information!! I'm going to try this soon!
That’s fantastic! I always love hearing that. Once you get growing if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. It can be a little bit difficult to get started but once you get it going, it’s a really rewarding plant to grow. So like I said, I’m always around. Just ask!
Thank you very much, appreciate the start to finish, plus you do make it so easy, I don't feel intimidated by it anymore :)
Bunny! So glad I could help! You don’t ever have to feel intimidated or scared to grow something. In fact I’ve been working on a video that I wanted to call ‘Dealing with Failure in the Garden’ I haven’t edited yet because I am always getting new material! 🤣
Just go for it! If it doesn’t work you just try again, no big deal!
I’m glad you found this helpful and thank you for your kind words! You got this!
So wonderful! Your living it! Your momma would be so proud! I know how you feel when you said you wished she were here today to share more of her knowledge! A couple months before my mom took ill I was trying to talk her into creating a video library of her amazing baking to give to family as a gift. Thank you for your gift to us!
You are truly kind, thank you!
Yes, it is true that being young and not really listening to the people around, you didn’t know things, costs us, and what we can learn and what we have to go through because of it. I recently heard of a video service in our area that does exactly what you were talking about. They come out as questions talk about their life, it’s like a video biography!
It’s my pleasure to share, and what I get out of it is knowing that people that are looking for information or are unsure of where to start, can find something to help them here. That’s my reward!
So happy I came upon your video. Going to buy ginger today March 22, 2023 in Georgia. Thank you and looking forward to other videos.
Welcome, I’m so happy to have you here! That’s fantastic news. If you have any questions once you get started, you can always ask them here or get in touch. I love to help if I can!
Georgia is a really great place to grow ginger so you should do really well!
I love this. I’ve wanted to grow ginger but didn’t know how and just happened to come across your videos. Thanks. Gonna try this week.
That’s fantastic! Best wishes and I’m so glad you found a video as well.
When you get started, if you have problems or any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I always love to help out wherever I can!
This was a great presentation! Doc covered the growing of ginger from picking the right root to sprouting it, cutting off the growing segments and planting/harvesting it. I liked the tips about using the leaves for tea or dried leaves for soups. Everyone can grow this ginger indoors and set out for the summer in their region.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You are so correct! Once you figure out the process for your climate it is pretty easy to grow and a wonderful addition!
How long do you keep it in the ground before harvesting
@jeangjolly5165 hey there!
Mine to say gets between eight and nine months of growth prior to harvest. Part of that is done by starting it in pots in the winter indoors so it’s ready to go by by the time spring comes around. And the rest is my growing season right up until the first frost or freeze., So for me usually eight or nine months. However, a big harvest can be hard if you can get a 12 month growing season.
Now, if you don’t have that long to grow it, just make sure to put more plants. This way you harvest smaller amounts from each plant it will still get what you need.
I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, just let me know!
Thank you for the detailed video about growing ginger!
My grocery store bought ginger took on a life of its own, and now I’m excited that I know how to plant it and grow my own! I’m in zone 6, so I will enjoy it as a houseplant! Thanks again!
It was my pleasure to share, and I'm glad you liked it and it helped!
Yep, that stuff will start growing right about the time you need to use it, so planting it out makes it well worth it!
If you have any issues let me know, and I'd love to hear how it turns out for you too!
Excellent and to the point! Thank you so much! Very helpful to this newbie Florida gardener.
First of all, thank you so much for your kind words I truly appreciate them! I’m so glad you found it helpful and I’m especially glad that I could help out a new gardener. That’s the entire reason I started this channel was to help people kind of get through some of the hard stuff when you get started growing. It can be daunting, and discouraging at times, so I like to help give as many shortcuts and information I’ve learned from my failures over the years as possible.
Once you get going, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask. I’d love to help you be successful!
Thanks for the great tips! I started some plants after watching another RUclipsr, but I had no idea it was time to transplant them. Your info probably just saved (or tripled) my ginger harvest!
That’s fantastic! I’m so glad it helped you out.
The great thing about growing ginger is once you get through that first round, and you figure out kind of how it works, it gets a little better every year. And pretty soon you’ll realize how easy and enjoyable it is to grow ginger, once you have it Worked out for your area!
If you have any questions or problems along the way, don’t hesitate to ask. I’d love to help you out if I can!
Loved your explanation, and really appreciated the recap. I’m in 9B and ready to start some ginger. It was my first time here and Im now subbed. Thank you!
I’m so glad you liked it and thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I really appreciate the sub as well!
9B is the perfect climate to grow in. You usually don’t have to worry about ground freeze if you’re overwintering, and the only thing you really have to watch out for it is too much heat in the middle of the day. That’s pretty easy you just give it a little bit of shade from about one to 3 o’clock and you should be good to go.
I’d love to hear how this turns out for you and if you have any questions at all on the way, let me know!
I've been thinking about growing ginger for years. Thanks for taking the mystery out of it and showing us just how easy it truly is. I'm living in Florida now so this should work out very well for a successful crop of ginger! Thank You!!!
Florida is great for it! You should do quite well. If you have any questions while you’re growing it let me know and I will try to help!
Just found your channel and really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing these tips on growing ginger!
Welcome! I’m really glad to have you here. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I really hope it helps. If you have any questions when she start growing your own let me know. I’d love to help you out if I can. I’m thankful to have you here!
Thank you for such a detailed process to grow ginger!
It was my pleasure to share. I hope it helps you grow your own. If you have any questions along the way I’d love to help out if I can!
I am a fellow Texan and I have just subscribed to your channel. I love it! I like how you explain the growing and harvesting of ginger. I've planted plants and trees, herbs like oregano and basil, even kumquat trees and a lemon tree and have been successful with them but I've always been intimidated by growing veggies or things like ginger, which I never thought of doing. I don't grow much anymore because personal circumstances have not allowed me much energy and time but lately I have been having the urge to grow something and I've decided to go with ginger. I think I can do this! Thank you so much!
Howdy! Always great to talk to another Texan!
Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked it. This is how I learn things, so I present in the way I would want to be taught some thing. I try to keep things simple, so that people know that it’s not as intimidating as you might think to grow some of the things you love. It is true, though, I’ve probably had way more failures and successes over the years, but each failure is an opportunity to learn as well!
When you get growing, if you have any questions at all, he doesn’t even have to be Ginger, reach out. If I can help in anyway, I certainly will!
@@TexasGardenDoc 😄
My son
-born in North Carolina, at 4 years old decided he had been born in Texas.
I was not going to break his heart with the truth, so I told him that he had been #MadeInTexas. Born in NC, but #MadeInTexas... which if not for a few days or a couple of weeks, was almost the truth 🤣
😂🤣😂 well it sounds like he has the spirit of Texas in him!
Thank you for such detailed instructions and your fun humor! ❤
You are very kind! And thank you so much for taking the time to come in as well. I really hope that helps you out, and if you have any questions at all, once you get growing, I’d love to help!
Thanks for sharing this video. A lot of plans in the winter and the spring.
It was my pleasure to share, I’m glad you liked it and I hope it helped you out as well.
That’s fantastic! What are the best things we can always be doing is looking ahead to the next season!
Enjoyed this video. Easy to follow and the recap was helpful. Going to grow some ginger!
That’s fantastic! I always love to hear when someone’s going to give it a try. It can be very exciting to grow something new or something you never thought to grow before. I’m glad you like the recap as well. That’s how I tend learn, so I thought I’d do that in the videos as well.
Once you get growing, if you have any questions, just let me know!
Very simple and detailed explained for a clear understanding without all this complicated technical confusing jargon. That's the most I like about this video. That made me subscribe to this channel. Will be starting to grow it as soon as possible. Can't wait for the shoots to come out.
Thank you Richard! I prescribe to the KISS method as much as possible. Nature does what it does, we tend to over complicate things a lot as gardeners.I think that takes the true joy out of it when we do!
Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina! I love your video and enjoyed the whole presentation. I'm just starting to learn how to grow vegetables and food, though already quite good gardener for indoor plants and flowers. So I'll watch the other videos that you published and will come back to you after achieving some progress. Thanks & blessings!
Julio! Buenos Aires is BEAUTIFUL! One of my top 3 places I want to see in my lifetime.
Thank you so much for your comment, and especially telling me where you are in the world. It amazes me everyday to talk with people from around the world!
I have no doubt that your experience in indoor plants and flowers will serve you very well moving into veg gardening! It’s not so different in the principles, only the variables of nature are what you’ll find challenging. But indoor gardening has its own unique kinds of challenges so I have no doubt you will thrive.
Please do come back and tell me how you are getting along, I would love to hear that! If you ever have questions that I can help with don’t hesitate to get in touch here or on Twitter.
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know!

Just came across your channel and I am so excited to grow my own ginger! Who doesn't like freshly grown food! Thank you for your very informative video, straight to the point and good tips! (We live in southern Missouri so will bring it in during winter).
I completely agree! That fresh taste is so good straight out of the garden.

Hi Texas Garden Doc, Firstly Thank you so much. I live in a small upstairs flat and I'm a ginger nut. Cook with it, and use the fresh ginger sliced in tea everyday. So I'm going to start growing it. I'm Melbourne Australia, so I hope I can grow it without killing it! LoL
Loved your video and your chickens. We should all be growing food now!! 🌱🌻
You aren’t wrong! I think it’s probably more important now than ever! You should not have any problem at all growing it there. Just know that it’s late in the season so if you want to put it on your balcony or in a window you just want to make sure it’s protected from any kind of freeze or very low temperatures.
You might need to overwinter at this first season to get a good harvest for next year. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask I’d love to help!
Great confidence building tutorial. No BS and from the heart!
Thank you for the kind words! I wish you all the best!
Thank you for the sage advice!!!! Bless u
It was my pleasure, and I’m glad you liked it. I really appreciate the kind words as well!
Blessings to you and yours, and if you have any questions about this or anything else garden related, don’t hesitate to reach out!
You’d make an awesome professor! Atypically .. I learned a lot, & it stuck - without needing to take notes. Thank you 🙏🏾 Texas G. Doc!
You were very kind, thank you!
For me learning as much easier when I hear all the information and while it’s still fresh, I recap it went by point. It seems to stick better for me that way. So that’s what I try to do my videos!
I’m glad it helped you out and I’m glad you liked it as well. If you decide to grow your own let me know if you have any questions at all. I’m always here to help!
This was the best instructional video about growing ginger that I've seen. I'll be potting mine up in the near future.
That’s fantastic news! Thank you for the kind words, and if you have any questions or issues along the way, please let me know. I’d love to help!
I love growing food but this was a big surprise. I couldn't have imagined it is possible to grow ginger !
🌸💮🌸💮🌸
I think that might be one of the most exciting things about gardening, finding something new that you never even thought to grow, and giving you a chance! It really can’t be exciting! I really hope the video helped you out some, if you have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to help!
Thank you for this great video! I’ve been wanting to grown ginger, but didn’t know how. I appreciate you explaining without being long winded. You got right to the point! I will now finally not be afraid to grow ginger!!!
Thank you for the kind words, and I’m glad that you found it helpful. I really appreciate that too!
Once you get growing, if you have any questions at all, just reach out, I’d love to help. Once you get it down for your area and climate it really is a fun and easy plant to grow. Best wishes to you!
I was looking for an instructional video on planting ginger. Thank you for showing your cultivation method
It was my pleasure to share, and I’m glad you liked it.
If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask I’d love to help
Thank you, Doc for this educational video that's simple and works! 💜
I’m so glad you like it and it’s my pleasure to share. I hope you have the opportunity to to grow your own, and if you do and have questions, let me know. I’d love to help where I can!
I usually put on videos to listen to while I work around the house. Most of them play on without much memorable content. The past 5 months I've been trying to start over after my husband ran off with another woman. I've listened to podcasts and RUclips videos on goal setting to try to figure out how I start living my life again. Who would have thought a RUclips video on growing ginger would give me give me exactly what I needed?! Your 4 things for a happy and balanced life really resonated with me this morning! ❤ I'm going to print that and put it all around my house! Thank you 😊
D! You just made my day my month and even my year!
I’m glad to hear that something I said can give you some bit of hope and strength to move forward, to find YOU again.
I’ve always struggled with saying those words but only because they are at the end of the video where most people don’t hear them. Sometimes it’s what everyone needs to hear at some point.
Goals don’t have to be laser focused, who really knows what tomorrow will bring, we just need to keep our eyes and hearts on what’s important, the rest is just details.
Best wishes on you healing up and finding that joy that only you can bring to this world. Even if you don’t think that the world sees it as a whole, the world NEEDS your joy!
God bless and I wish you all the best!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment!
Well done video! Anticipates and answers all questions.
Thank you for the kind words, and I’m glad you liked it as well! I really hope it helps you out, and if you decide to grow your own, and have any issues at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to help!
From NE Florida. Thanks for the guidelines and recap. We look forward to enjoying ginger from our garden.
That’s fantastic!

Great instruction easy to follow. my ginger is sprouting on my kitchen counter, and you came just in time to let me know how to plant it. Thanks!
Lol that’s great! You’re already in a great spot to start growing some! Depending on where you are it may be pretty late in the season already, but if you need to you can over winter some and get a jump start on next season.
I wish you tons of success!
I'm going to be trying this out this spring for sure, didn't realize it was so easy to grow, Ty very much 👍🙏❤
It’s my pleasure. Thank you so much for the comment as well. Once you get growing, if you have any problems or issues, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to know how it turns out for you!
That's awesome. I love ginger and will definitely try to grow it. I also like the way you explain the method. Thank you. Elaine
You’re very kind, thank you!
It’s very exciting to give things a try that you’ve never grown before. Once you get started if you have any issues or questions, don’t hesitate to ask I’d love to help!
Thank you, I love ginger and knew how to grow and use them, and still learned a few more tricks from you. Great informative video.
Thank you so much for your kind words, that means the world to me!
I’m glad you liked it. If you have any questions at all, just let me know. I’d love to help her I can!
Such a great video. I just started thinking about growing some of my own plants and herbs. This was super informative and well explained. You got a new subscriber 🎉
That’s very exciting getting started like that! I really do appreciate your kind words, and for the subscription, it means a lot to me! If you do decide to grow your own, you have any questions let me know I’d love to help you out!
I am in the UK and it was useful to know the different planting methods for various zones. Great instructions. Thanks.
Howdy from across the big pond!
I’m glad the video helped you out, and if you do start growing your own, you have any questions just let me know. I’d love to help you out if I can!
I can not WAIT to try this! So glad I just came across your channel! Ty for sharing your knowledge. ❤️✝️
Welcome! It’s a pleasure to have you here!
It’s a very fun plan to grow although it does take a little work to get it figured out for your exact climate at first. So if you start growing it, don’t get discouraged if the first season is not as good as it would be. Just remember that it doesn’t want to be too wet. It needs to be warm, but not overly hot. If you live in an area that has really hot summers, it will slow down quite a bit and you should definitely make sure it gets some shade to the hottest part of the day. Once you get growing if you have any questions at all just reach out I’d love to help you out. It was my pleasure to share, and thank you so much for taking the time to say so!
Thanks. I had no idea it was so easy. I am going to start next week. 😊
That’s great! It’s always exciting to grow something new in the garden especially something you never thought about growing. Once you get it worked out for your exact climate it becomes very easy to grow as well.
What are you going if you have any questions, just let me know. I’d love to help!
Great tutorial. I threw a bunch of ginger in the garden this spring and have a few that grew. Youve given me some great info on doing it right. Many thanks!
That’s fantastic! One of the things that I love to do in gardening is experiment, which is exactly what you did by tossing that ginger in the garden!
You can always get some amazing results that way. Now that you have some ginger growing if you have any questions about it, just let me know. I’d love to help!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I thought it was cute that your chicken/rooster was crowing. It knows your voice 🤠 and who doesn’t want food when you’re hungry? I’m looking forward to growing ginger once I get out of the hospital! Your videos have given me a purpose while I lie on my back recuperating from surgery. Thank you again! ❤
Yes, that rooster he’s always talking when I’m talking! Lol they’re all very good chickens.
That’s fantastic! When you start growing it let me know if you have any questions or issues. I’d love to help. And best wishes on a speedy recovery as well. I hope the surgery went as expected and you’ll be good as new Very soon!
Thank you very much for your video! Very useful and very clear explained!
It was my pleasure, and I hope to help you out. If you have any questions, or anything, it’s unclear, don’t hesitate to ask!
thanks ive seen a couple videos about this but theyre so vague about the details its nice to find easy to follow steps
It was my pleasure to share, and I’m glad you found it helpful as well!
Many years ago when I started trying to grow ginger, I wasn’t having very much success sprouting it from what I bought from the garden. But a piece left in the cabinet that I’ve forgotten about the sprouted one day and I wondered if that was the way to do it. So I tried it again and it works every time!
For me the inhibitors that they spray on even the organic ginger, believe it or not in our area is pretty stout so all of the methods that other people used to sprout ginger just produce mushy molded ginger for me.
I hope this will help you out, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
