I dug up some of my ginger crop and started a ginger bug for making ginger ale.
You can definitely tell the ginger roots that just camped out in the sand vs the new growth. I’m not even upset that some of it didn’t do anything. It stayed fresh and usable. Sand outside is the best storage system for ginger.
Over all between this and the previous harvest I have 50% more ginger than I started out with. A pretty good return. Next year I’ll go bigger than a single square foot of planting.
I know in my heart that I could dry those leaves out and weave something with them but that’s not a project for this year. But I’m always keeping an eye out for that function stacking ability.
Gorgeous! If you do another harvest in spring when there’s pink/red nodes on the young ginger you can make gari

Thank you for that. In addition to the idea, my hassle found out that there’s a reason I might have to pay for YouTube premium.
If you have a jellyfin server setup you can always set up something like yt-dlp or tube archivist… Honestly, you could just use yt-dlp and watch out of the folder it downloads to if you don’t want to bother with jellyfin or similar.
Revanced exists too, or the webplayer.
I’ve tried different platforms but they all have remedial problems like broken search, insufficient content, Nazi issues and other things.
