How to Grow Ginger

Hi Everyone

Here is a little bit on Growing Ginger
Ginger is the underground stem of the ginger plant. It comes from Asia where they use it a lot in cooking. Ginger is also grown in the West of Africa and the Caribbean where it is used as a food and medicine. Here is a Ginger Plant

Ginger is not a root but a swollen rhizome.

Jake- so what’s a rhizome Dan?

A Rhizome is a creeping stem that grows underground. Roots grow from a rhizome; they are shallow and wide rather than deep. This is good for us because this means we can easily grow ginger in plant pots and tubs as well as in the garden.
The best time to plant ginger is in spring when the sun is not to bright and it is not too hot.
Ginger will happily grow on a windowsill because it likes a bit of shade and filtered sunlight.
