💯 that's what I do. I have 4 year old ginger that I grew. It's perfect. The smell is strong still and taste is the same. I just scrape/cut off what I need and put it back in the freezer.

Notes - Ginger exported from Asia. -We harvest the rhizome, which is the underground stem. We harvest the main stem of the plant. - If buying ginger at the grocery store look for eyes. The larger the rhizome chunk the faster you’ll get your ginger. New growth comes from those “eyes” larger chunks create more sprouts, because there are enough areas for the shoots to come out. The more shoots creates more shoot development up top and more root grow down below, which means more photosynthesis which is more energy and more growth and getting ginger faster. - Ginger stalks grow horizontally in one direction. A wide shallow pot is better than narrow deep pot for growing ginger. - Use high quality soil that’s loose rich and organic. - You can prèspout ginger in bowl of water or plant ginger straight in and add water. - Ginger is not like standard root crop like potato (would plant deep) simply add ginger and cover 1/2 inch over soli - Add ginger and water it in. - - To understand where to place ginger where did it come from? - Came from Southeast Asia - tropical, rainfall, moist, heat, humidity. - Start in Spring, or indoors if not good weather. Problems - Brown tips - soil is not moist enough, Yellow - lack of nutrients, add fertilizer Soggy and Rotting - too much water Flowers - Normal, edible also Harvesting - If in dry are- add mulch to hold in moisture - first harvest 4-5 months - before frost harvest all of it.

I've been using a technique for a while now where you let the eyes of the ginger sprouts,cut them off and plant directly into the soil. That way,you don't have to put an entire ginger in the soil and also,you will get a new ginger out of one sprout. It's very effective. Hope it helps.

This is the video that inspired me to start gardening... my first ginger plant was in a 1/2 liter tupperware with no holes and clay soil. I planted it in January (cold, but I'm from the tropics, so 12-15C cold). I overwatered it coz I had no idea what an inch of water meant, and it obviously died. From then till now I've grown water spinach, malabar spinach, ginger, cucumber, okra, garlic and onion leaves, lemongrass, sweet potato, spring onion, culantro, ixora (regular and dwarf), cape jasmine, lantana, crape jasmine, mustard, cilantro, and flat beans, all in about six feet of my backyard. I had Covid in April, and I also found gardening a way to relax and take my mind off things. So thanks a bunch for inspiring me to take up gardening. :D

I tried growing ginger when I lived in Florida.. it always rotted.

I start seeing all these sprouts! I'm excited trying to figure out how to plant them and grow them... finally! There was no water in that bowl they were in on my counter btw.

Lo and behold, while they were still in the container two started to sprout! Inside without water! And here I am!

Mine is planted outside in a shallow long garden bed in semi-shade / sun. Lots of organic compost aided by some cow manure and very occasionally some commercial fertilizer. It does flower and grows quite vigerously. I harvest once a year after the plants die back slightly and then immediately re-plant for the new season. Very rewarding.

If the ginger is nice and plump...and not shriveled...you will likely find "eyes". BTW...this goes for turmeric, too. 2) He very plainly said that ginger is a TROPICAL PLANT.

The ONLY places you m-i-g-h-t be able to plant this in the ground in the USA and not dig it up for winter storage--again, he SAID the part about winter storage very clearly--is in far south Texas and Florida...and possibly some parts of Arizona and San Diego area...zones 9-10.

Interesting, So do you drink it like tea or eat it like soup?

I’m really glad I came across your channel. I found a ginger root from the grocery and the shoots are green. I set it in shallow water and went here to find out what to next. It’s so expensive I just have to try as I love ginger every which way. Much thankss

Thanks for sharing this wonderful posting and I am going to plant it in Summer. Thanks

What a smashing guide to gardening ginger. I don’t think you’ve missed a thing. I’m passing this on to all of my friends as ginger is massively popular now and your explanation is perfect for non gardeners and gardeners. I did not know you could eat the flowers or the leaves, I did not know how to powder it or store it. You have opened up a whole new adventure.Thank you very much!

I started growing my own ginger a few years ago. I love doing it, the scent is fantastic. Mine was trial and error. I cut the eyes off and started them in *warm* water in my kitchen window. I have one that has overwintered for three winters so far, and sent up shoots in the spring. I do let the shoots die off, and water once a week over the winter-- always with warm water. The ginger I have gotten from it has been wonderful!

When you cut the eyes off how many did you plant per container? I can't find any fresh ginger at the stores and planting a whole hand to get a hand is not something I want to do. Any tips

@@bigbadbamboo1 Usually Walmart has it in, if you have one close to you. I just cut off a couple of eyes with about an inch of ginger for "fuel". I keep it in a south-facing window, keep watered (with warm water) every day. The thing is, you have to be patient. Depending on when you try to start the eyes, you may wait a month or so for the green shoots to appear.

I make ginger beef using small amounts of ginger in 3 ways to combine and give a big ginger taste. When you coat your beef with flour/ s&p, add some powder ginger. Have grated or ex-fine mince fresh ginger with the garlic and veg and ginger tea instead of water in the sauce. Use a light hand with the powder and tea and if you like a punch, do it with the grated fresh, you'll have more control. By layering the flavor like this, it just makes the flavor more complex and yummy. My auntie use to say, "good and good for ya!"

This clip was very informative and useful. I appreciate the time you have put into creating an educational quick overview of ginger. It was my first pick and a great clip on the delivery.

Thanks. I'm trapped in an apartment & placed some ginger in a pot several weeks ago. Now it's a big beautiful plant. So, I'm looking forward to harvest.

It practically took over our living room and just about every friend and relative we knew got a sapling. You could start now with growing something simple like kitchen herbs; these don't cost much, are easy to handle and your family will enjoy them.^^

I study ours an hours a day just to learn how to plant a couple stuff

I am growing a ginger plant myself for two years or so indoors. When I need ginger to cook I just go into the soil with my knife and cut off what I need and let the plant regrow. Now after 2 years the ginger wasn't soo good anymore and this time I renewed the soil and tried planting a few smaller roots next to each other to see if this works out too. I also use a watering bird, it has a foot out of clay and an opening where I put all the water in and the plant takes what it needs without getting soggy. Works fine for me.

I grow ginger for the flowers. Makes garden smell heavenly.

I thought I was supposed to break the ginger into several pieces. I need me a wide, shallow pot as well. I appreciate the tutorial. Have a great day!

If you are sick to your stomach, ginger will kick in in about 30 minutes or less. I highly recommend it. When my father had prostate surgery, he could not take the pain Rx because it made him sick 🤢. I purchased some ginger beer and had him drink it. He became a firm believer in the power of Ginger for the tummy woes. I later introduced him to ginger beef & ginger tea. He so appreciated it.
