Lovely harvest and I love the little johnny-jump-up flowers.
Yum yum and yum!! Nice harvest and I love the plantings you've made thus far! I can't wait to see how they grow!
I dropped a couple of ginger roots into a pot in the greenhouse just to see what they do, but not holding my breath.... Yours look great!
Your seedlings look gorgeous. You must have a greenhouse. I am trying to grow ginger this year. I have 2 pieces growing so far. I see you cut yours into section. I guess I should dig up the big piece and cut it into section.
Daphne, Holly,
Thanks.
Mary,
It takes long time for the roots to leaf out, have patience.
Norma,
Thanks, no I don't have a greenhouse, I grow the seedlings indoor under lights and move them in and out of the house for sun and fresh air, I have nothing better to do (^-^)
Gorgeous seedlings!!!! nice work.
Harvest looks great. How did you get the ginger to sprout? I usually just plant mine and wait but I do like the idea of sprouting it first.
Dorothy,
Welcome and thank you.
Liz,
I put the ginger roots in an unsealed plastic bag and leave them somewhere in the kitchen, some of the roots will sprout in about 3-4 weeks, they will continue to grow until I'm ready to plant them outside, presprouting probably save about 4-6 weeks of growing time.
Great harvest this week. I wish I had read this about presprouting ginger about a month ago! I just planted some ginger root in a pot and did not cut the large root pieces or pre-sprout them. Just planted them and put them in the warmer clime of the greenhouse. I hope I get something for my efforts eventually but it really is just an experiment of growing some thing "new to me" and my expectations are pretty low as a result.
kitsapFG,
Don't worry, your ginger will grow, it takes a while for it to get started, it's a slow grower and pretty much maintenance free, I plant them in a pot, water and fertilize as needed, that's all I did, pretty much maintenance free.
