+==How to Grow Ginger==
+# Get a fresh ginger root from the produce market. Try to pick the best ginger rhizome with a few knobs in it. The shoots will sprout from those knobs.
+# Usually the ginger root that you purchased from the market is dehydrated, so it is best that you soak the ginger in water overnight.
+# If you are in a tropical area you can plant the ginger root straight to the ground about an inch deep. Ginger will not survive below 40*F, so if you live in that kind of temperate zone start your ginger indoors in a pot. Do not over water. Just keep the soil moist.
+# It takes about a month for the ginger root to form a sprout and sometimes 45 to 60 days before you can actually see the green shoot.
+# It takes anywhere from 8 months to a year before you can actually harvest the ginger roots. But in the meantime enjoy looking at the beautiful leaves.
