Ginger plant #5
My 1st attempt at ginger was a success. That was started from a piece bought from our wet market. The source was probably China. So even though the harvest which was all new growth, I guess technically it wasnt 100% free of pesticides or whatever from the ori piece.
So this is a piece of new growth from that ori piece, which makes this 2nd gen attempt 100% organic.
I left the half dead leaves as is.It's 12 Dec 2020, and this time, the plan is to leave it in for 8 months minimum and see if any diff in taste. So harvest date will be set at after 12 Aug 2021.
29Dec2020 update: new shoots finally. I was thinking before this that the piece was too small or too young. Luckily all looks well.
The new shoots are ones on the extreme left and right.Also good to see that what I thought was half dead leaves and on its way out, were still green and supplying food for the plant by photosynthesis.
29 May 2021 update: harvested!
