When to harvest ginger?

[balaji27]

Hello Team,

Please refer to my Ginger plant pics, would you please guide how long I should wait for the harvest and will there be an indication from the plant above the soil? This is my first plant, so no idea about it. Thanks Balaji.

Hi again @balaji27,

The Bunnings guide How to grow ginger should have everything you need. Here's what the guide says: 

You can start harvesting ginger from four months after planting, a little piece of rhizome at a time. In colder areas, make sure you harvest all your ginger before the first freeze. In warmer areas, harvest when the leaves are yellow and the stems start to fall over.

No worries @balaji27.

You can find hundreds of these kinds of helpful guides on the Bunnings website under Planting and Growing in....
