Growing Ginger: Step 1 (Propagation) - 2024 Tea Garden - Zone 8B/9A

We're growing ginger for our tea company! Step 1 is propagation. All it requires is a little organic store bought ginger. Come along with me as I complete step 1! More to come on the next steps.

Thanks for sharing! You've inspired me to try to harvest ginger too! It was on my list of edible plants I want to try to grow so now is as good a time as any! I'd love some periodic update videos about your progress!

Hi! For someone who has never grown anything lol would you say ginger is something good to start with? Watching your videos has inspired me want to try my hand this year at gardening! Thanks

That's SO exciting. Makes me super happy because that's exactly what I wanted to do with TH-cam this yr. For new gardeners, I recommend growing things that check off at least two of the following: 1. Things you eat/use a lot of 2. Things that are expensive OR not easy to get at the store. 3. Things that you don't have to wait a long time to harvest. If you eat/use a lot of ginger, then it checks 2 out of 3 of those boxes. It takes about 10 mos to get a really productive harvest. That being said, as long as you use a lot of it, YES. Great crop to grow as a new gardener. But I'd also recommend growing 1 or 2 other things that you can harvest more quickly so you don't get deflated by not having a product to harvest for nearly a year. Good luck and happy growing. ❤ Let me know if you have any other questions. 🥰
