Hi,
Has anyone grown Ginger before? What was your experiences? How much space in-ground and in a pot would it need? I hear it needs some shade, about how much shade/sun total? When is the ideal time to start it? And how soon could I harvest some of it? If you have any pics of your plants post them up. Thanks

Here's a couple of previous threads here about growing ginger:

I didn't go any farther back than that in looking-- took a bit of sorting through all the references to wild ginger, which is totally unrelated to culinary, and all the mentions of ginger in recipes....

I don't think the fuzzy one I pulled out of the back of the crisper drawer counts ... but I just realized I should have stuck the darn thing in a pot or at least the composter ... GAH. I should not clean out the fridge while sleepy.
I read those links when I was digging around (lorax, not the second one but there were a few more I can't find now); I'll probably get some grocery store ginger and stick it in a pot in a shady spot in the yard. Yum GINGER I love the stuff I don't know how it go buried behind old halloween candy in the crisper ...
