What about ginger? Can I
just put it in the soil just like potato and except a harvest in October?


I did and it put up leaves, died down in the winter and is now putting up
leaves again. I haven't tried to harvest the root, but I assume if you plant
it in a place and a climate that makes it happy it'll perform for you. Just
break off a piece of the rhizome at the place where it thins out and plant
several a few inches deep. I live in z=one 8b or 9 (New Orleans.)
