This year we want to have a go at growing ginger (in big pots). Anyone grown this before? When would be the best time to 'plant' it?

here's just one thread about growing ginger

there are loads more if you put 'grow ginger' in the search

Thanks Mum, I've had a good look through but can't see if there is a good time to start growing it or not. Maybe it could start it off now, indoors?

It has to be kept frost-free and ideally a bit warmer...I'm sprouting a bit of root on top of a my lemon grass pot at the mo, will pop it in something biggish once it's growing, possible a plastic biscuit box so there's plenty of room for root to develop

well as all the posters in the link are starting their ginger off in february and march, I think that gives you a clue  but you have to heep it somewhere that stays warm
