I know this world is going crazy these days ,

I'm in Zone 7 and have successfully grown Ginger for the past 3 years. I start my Ginger from either small pieces (1-2") of the root from the previous season or new pieces from the grocery store which have little nodes starting to protrude. It is best started indoors in Feb/March in a warm/moist room, such as a bathroom. Place the pieces just below the soil surface with the node side up. Ginger does not require much sunlight, so keep it in a shaded area while indoors. In a month or so, there should be some shoots starting to pop through the soil. Once the outdoor temperature is above 80F in the daytime and at least 55F at night then you can plant in a container outdoors. Place in a mostly shaded area and keep moist throughout the summer. Too much sunlight will cause the leaves to die. By Sept/Oct you will have your Ginger crop ready to harvest. The cycle continues... I'm looking forward to making another batch of Ginger Beer.

There's a weed that everyone probably has in their yard, Plantain. There are two varieties common in the US. Plantago lanceolata and Plantago major. A syrup made from the leaves is as good for bronchitis/bronchiolitis and asthma. I used it when I had covid. An ointment, also made from the leaves, is good for eczema, poison ivy, and bee stings.

I live in Southern Ontario and grow ginger. Been doing so for about 3 years now. I took a piece of grocery store ginger that was organic and stuck it in dirt. I did this in February and in a good size pot. Then when the weather got warm I put it out side and let it grow. It actually did extremely well. I harvested in late Aug/Sept and got a decent amount of ginger. This past year I planted a piece from the harvest last year the same day I harvested it. It didn't look like it was going to grow or do anything but man it did better then ever. This Tim I let it go because we have had much warmer weather for a much longer time. So I only harvested my ginger about 2 weeks ago (yes the first couple weeks of October. If I could share pictures I would I was so happy with how much better the ginger grew this year. I even neglected it for a while. Try it and see if you can get it to grow. I live in zone 6

Timestamp 10:45 - I've finally been successful at getting some of these to sprout in a container in the kitchen. Every evening when I get home, I check for additional growth. I'm so looking forward to having these growing and looking beautiful on my kitchen counter.

We should rewrite the Simon and Garfunkal song to Garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme. lol I didnt realize ginger thinned the blood. I take ginger in capsule every day, I was getting concerned that every time I scratch or slightly cut myself while working I seem to bleed more than is normal. Now I know why. I wont stop taking it but now will not worry there is something wrong with me if I bleed from a minor scratch. lol

Put a slice of red onion in the tray that you sprout the piece of ginger in. Layer a moist piece of paper towel on top of the onion, then your piece of ginger, then a second piece of moist paper towel. Darkness will help, within a week, the piece of ginger will break its dormancy and begin to sprout 🌱. I am a “newbie” at this, I discovered it by accident in my compost can.

Something I've learned, for what it's worth: young ginger (thin easily removed skin) has cooling properties when ingested; taken during the summer months it helps to keep you cooler in the heat. Old ginger (thick skin) has warming properties when ingested; helps along with cayenne to keep you warm in the cold. Both have the same pain relieving properties, but old ginger is more potent. I used the old ginger and cayenne when we had our freak freeze in Texas to help me stay warm. And for one month I was able to find young ginger to help me stay cooler. It for sure works as I tend to heat up easily in hot months.

Thank you so much I loved this video so simple great advice blessings 😊

Great information, I love the entrance of the dog LOL perfect timing right

good info. I had the same problem with Rosemary, winter would see it off and I couldnt grow it. However I grew it in a sheltered area in my garden and it made it through. For insurance I started to take cuttings. This turned out to be really easy and ended up with so many plants that I gave loads away to friends. My method super easy. Cut about a 6 inch tip or pick off a branching piece. Strip the cutting by about 2 inches at the bottom and pop it into a small glass of water on a sunny windowsill. In about a month you should have roots enough to pot up. I do it all the time with 6 or 7 cuttings. You cant lose it then. one more thing change the water every week.

What a coincidence. I was just discussing how to use our pots this year because I'm gonna fill EVERYTHING up! I put rosemary and other herbs in a raised bed herb garden and covered w/plastic in hopes of overwintering. Not sure what it looks like yet but this year I will plant my kitchen herbs in containers and move them around as described. Thanks! New to the channel, I'm loving it.

We used to not very long ago know these wisdoms, just ask Grandma and Grandpa. If your's are gone, ask a elderly friend. Herbs have been healing me and all my relation's for 45 year's. My very favorite is for an earache. Peel a clove cut off a bit of 1 tip, place it in your ear and go to bed. You think it might sting, but it doesn't. Best if just kind of push it gently in so it loosely stays there and lay down, but because I was a young mom I found using a bandaid worked pretty well, so I could still be functional. Love to all
