    Ooooo I'd forgotten all about this. I too bought some ginger to try. It's still in the paper bag somewhere in my garden cupboard, I'll root it out later to see if it's still any good.

      As promised, here is the latest pic of my ginger plant. Or it may just still be the root with a shoot, I don't know! And it is sitting beside my purple chilli which has 5 flowers on it - I took a paintbrush to them this morning, buzzing encouragingly!

        I cannot see how tall your ginger really is. Is it now taller than the chilli? Mine is still green and has developed a leaf. Tis a bit hard to see becasue the light behind it.

          Oh, wow Brengirl - mine is about the same height as yours is before it branches out to make its first leaf. Mine looks like it is making a leaf, but is soooo slow! Maybe the bathroom is a bit cold for it.

            Hi can I join in. I had 3 lumps of ginger. 2 dried up and went all wrinkly 1 is in water and has been for the last 2 weeks, nothing has happened, do I give up or carry on waiting. I must say it is next to the rosemary cutting that I am also waiting to root.

                Can I join in? I've just retrieve a sprouting piece which has been languishing in my fruit bowl since I made apricot & coriander chutney back in October. Anyway, it has looked better (the shoot was nice and green when I bought it and now looks less happy) but I've planted it anyway.

                        My Ginger has just started to show I'll keep my fingers crossed and if all goes well I'll pop a photo up.

                          Well I asked just that a few posts ago so I have today repotted mine in bigger pots. Warmed the compost up first and then gave them a wee drink of baby bio. Shucks it's making me all maternal.

                              Still nothing happening with mine. I've moved it to the livingroom window cill, think the kitchen was too cold.

                              Moving the sweet potato into the heat worked so fingers crossed it works for the ginger too.
