Re: Can I grow ginger?
Hello,
Mr. QB has investigated this. Ginger will grow fine indoors in the UK. However we don't have a long enough growing season for it to put on root tubers. We just don't have enough sunshine for long enough. All you'll get is a leafy plant.
If you're interested in growing unusal things in the UK check out a company called Edulis. Their website is www.edulis.co.uk.
We got some pig nuts (also called earth chestnuts) from them and are experimenting with them this year.
