Not only is it easy to grow but requires little maintenance and is also one of those spices that always taste so much better when used straight from the patch. Would be great to hear from you if you have a crack at growing some this season.

    I grew ginger indoors in the uk, makes an unusual houseplant. I used the leaves for making tea. I just looked in the supermarket for rhyzomes with green growing points, and ones that haven't been recently broken. If plants got too big I put them into larger containers on a sheltered balcony.

      Isn't it a gorgeous house plant?
      And the flowers fill the room with such a lovely scent. Grow mine in the shower under a skylight on a shelf. One square foot. Small splash curtain and shelf keep it soap free. Candied ginger leaf for sore throats, yum. Loves the steam and moisture and makes it easy to maintain. I add grow lights to extent the day or increase the days natural light. Didn't flower for two years. In the frozen northwest usa.

    I dehydrate smaller slices then take it to work with me. Any stress related stomach upset and I add it to my tea. It works in minutes so I can get back to work.
    At home I store it in a glass container covered with sherry. When I need it I slice it up and add a bit of the ginger sherry for a boost.

    Hi Rob. Harvested my ginger and turmeric today. Planted October in Melbourne, but no warm days till after Christmas so slow growing season. 523gm new ginger root and 260gm turmeric. Galangal survived but didn't grow much (about 50gm). Thanks for the advice earlier.

    I bought some ginger and thought I was going to eat it... but unlike those that came before it, it desperately wanted to live and started growing in the kitchen cabinet, in a dark and cold basement apartment, without any soil or water, like a boss.
    That plant deserves to live a long and happy life, so thanks for a highly informative video!

  • @shamanbeartwo3819
    @shamanbeartwo3819 4 года назад +1

    Another reason to grow your own ginger is to make sweet pickled ginger (Gari) like you get with your sushi. The ginger used for this is the young ginger which has red tones to it and is what creates that pink color vs. what we are used to seeing in the stores which is the older, yellow ginger. And it definitely has sprouts on it if not shoots/stalks still attached. I found it at the super large Japanese market here in town. It couldn't be easier to make and tastes better than anything I ever had in restaurants.

    • @RobsAquaponics

This is my first year planting ginger in two pots, they are growing beautifully! 2b) should I keep the smaller pot as it is, bring it inside for next year plant, in Spring I dig the ginger up and replant them? 3) In Maryland When should I harvest my ginger? Enjoy your garden! 👍🤗😅😂🤣. Thank you!

      2a - I've covered in this clip at the end ruclips.net/video/OyRhS62HXIY/видео.html
      2b- You could bring the pot in then transplant the lot into a larger pot next spring without disturbing the roots too much.
      3- when the plant starts to die back is the best time I think. 👍

    Great video. Apparently, you can store this kind of root crop in buckets filled with sand. So no need to dehydrate or freeze them. I haven't tried it myself, but will do after this year's harvest.

    • @RobsAquaponics
      @RobsAquaponics  6 лет назад +2

      Have used that method myself here. I like to freeze them as it takes less space & I have it on hand as I need it.

    Thanks for the very informative video! - I decided to give it a try this year (which was, seeing a fantastic spring and now early summer with temps up to 27-28 C in the day - which is, for end of may, beginning of june, incredible - a great idea). I live in western austria, on 700m above sea level. I started the project with organic ginger from peru in the beginning of february in my heated greenhouse, but they decided to start appearing at least 1,5-2 months later. Now, since nights are not below 12-14 degrees, I planted them out, and I can watch them growing every day - the largest ones are around 35-40cm in height. I cutted the rhizoms in pieces and had around 40 small pots in the end, which resulted in 38 bigger or larger strong plants. I am now cultivating them in my rised bed, in good, rich compost soil, mixed with horse fertilizer pellets plus organic guano with stone flour (??), covered with chopped straw from my last year giant garden reeds. The only not so ideal thing is, that they are getting 70% sun over the day, with a little more shadow in the late afternoon/evening hours - maybe too much sun. So I cross fingers for a long, warm summer!

    Grew mine last year for the first time in my greenhouse.

    Cut the ginger like i would a potato into maybe six sections.
    Sprouted ok but ended up with little more than i started with after 6 months or so.
    Ginger was from local supermarket so not sure what went wrong.

      They might just pull through yet Nancy. Covering them at night with a bucket may help protect them if the temp dips that low again.

      Hey Don Jon Lon. We tend to get the thicker ginger grown here. As I recall our larger variety was developed a few hours north from here a few decades back & is the main variety that we see ion the shops. We also grow a thin variety we were gifted from some Cambodian folks & find it has a very sweet scent & flavour. Doesn't give the huge yields but taste awesome in drinks.
