I bought and forgot that I had bought some ginger before Christmas. I see
that it has put out a very nice little green shoot on the
side, can I plant this?

Yes now. Indoors, in a pot using two parts peat, one part loam and
one part sharp sand. The ginger rhizome should be 3/4 buried
lengthways in the compost and grown indoors in a sunny position until
July and August when it can be grown outside. Water well during the
summer months. Only give it liquid manure, (Baby Bio will do), when
it is in flower. The flower/s, if you are very lucky, will be white
and very fragrant.

Perhaps using bog standard multi pourpose compost is where i'm going wrong.
And burying it too deep too..

Will try it out next spring when the light levels rise a bit...
