Harvested on the First Day of March

Happy new month everyone! While doing my usual plant watering, Sweetie mentioned we should harvest the ginger. 

We watched videos where they just pulled the ginger out. It was so big we couldn't just pull it out. I didn't want to use a shovel because we might hit the ginger. With gloves on we wet the soil a bit and then dug through the pot to loosen the roots.


Eventually we were able to pull the leaves and ginger, but it still clung to the soil. Sweetie then washed off the soil with a hose. We were surprised with how much ginger grew out of the pot. It started with a few small ones I propagated in water.



Since there was a lot Sweetie gave some to our neighbor. He mentioned it's likely native ginger. It's more potent than regular commercial ones. Now we have to think what dishes to make, haha.

Great start for the month of March!
