I have some pieces of ginger which are beginning to sprout.

Can I plant them in the ground and expect them to grow?

I had some planted outside as a test last year. They sprouted but were a bit
slow. I moved them into a pot in the greenhouse and they grew much faster as
you'ld expect. They are very boring to look at - just stems with grass-like
leaves. Apparently the flowers aren't much to look at either. I'm keeping
mine in the greehouse though so I can harvest it.
