Anyone have any knowledge about growing ginger in our garden. We cook alot with it, but have never grown it.

I had a friend in FL who used to grow it. It seemed to do best in partial sun-partial shade, and like most tropicals, enjoyed lots of compost and good moisture. Here's links. The second link requires Adobe Acrobat to read.

Our member Mitjo has submitted several images: http://plantsdatabase.com/go/55488/ Perhaps you can email her for advice, even though your growing climates are radically different :)

Mitjo is a boy,perhaps you are thinking of Meiyu? I think she likes tropicals.

My bad. It was Mitjo I was thinking of - just get the genders mixed up sometimes :)
