I don't think the summer was really warm enough for it this year. Grows best in the warm end of a greenhouse with lots of moisture, heat & light. Mine is doing OK, but it isn't ever going to be a worthwhile crop. But it is quite a nice exotic looking foliage plant on the stems that are left to grow. The rhizome never gets massively bigger for me like it would in the tropics. But worth growing for the fresh young ginger stems that when boiled are delicious if you like that sort of thing. Much more tender and aromatic than anything you can buy. | here is the link with pictures from start to finish |http://tinyurl.com/24s7vh They aren't visible to casual visitors.

I grew some once, in a greenhouse from a peice of shop bought ginger
root. It grew a nice stem around a foot long. However, it died over Winter. Not bothered since. The photo is also not visible to me - "no permission". Far too much hassle to register just to see a photo. -- David in Normandy |

My problem was finding somewhere warm enough that was not in full sun and liable to dry out quickly. Mine is still going. A small stem has dried up, but the larger stem is still there, but has lost its central growing point. The leaves on mine have been eaten quite a lot. I presume it must have been a slug, though I never saw any. I am encouraged by the suggestion to let it die down over the winter. Peter - Harrogate |

Like Nick I can read all the threads in the forum but if I try to look at the photo (.jpg) it says I need to log in. I don't want to sign up to a forum just to look at a photo. Aside from that, I've had no problems growing turmeric and galangal (kra chai), but ginger has so far defeated me. someone |
