first ginger harvest

 It's been 5 months.


Couldn't wait for 8 as recommended by most on the web. Some random guy I met while walking my dog told me his took about 4 months. That convinced me to go ahead.

Luckily I planted it above the ground in a bed of new soil surrounded by bricks. Removing one or two of them made it easier to dig the ginger out from the side...

This was growing under the soil...

What an amazing feeling seeing it multiplied. Lots of earthworms in between the bulbs so I had to be careful washing and breaking the ginger apart.

This was what it looked like, semi cleaned. You can see the original mother was a different colour.
