1. Something I'd like to try

2. Wow, I had always wondered if the ginger I grow was the real stuff.

It is!!! I have a huge patch of ginger on the side under the tree canopy that's been growing since mom gave me 6 plants 30+ years ago. I love them, they produce great smelling flowers that perfume the whole yard. I put them out there and just let them take over a previously empty area. I even have a varigated ginger in front, I'll have to check it out and see if it has the same kind of rhizome. It's a beautiful plant, so I'm ok with it just being an ornamental, but hey, would be great to get organic ginger from my yard!

3. I've grown ginger from store bought as well as turmeric

Turmeric was fun growing, they have very interesting foliage, never flowered though.
