Do you have to wait till the top has died down before harvesting? I'm not sure what to do as there is some older growth but one new stalk has come through.

Young ginger will taste mild while old ginger will taste more fiery. When you harvest your ginger root, was it the 'young' or 'old' part of the root?

Perth is temperate - in temperate it says can't grow in WA. If you read about ginger it says warm weather - so obviously you would plant in warm part of the year - like late spring early summer.

1) when is the best time to plant ginger in Melbourne? 2) How can I replant the unused from previous harvest? 3) Should I store my ginger in fridge or in cool dry area?

Don't pull the plant out. Just dig a little and break off a piece of root as you need it.

We live on the NSW Central Coast. I had a disastrous year growing ginger this year and most did not shoot. I also grew Galangal which struggled all summer and winter but is now powering on like there is no tomorrow. Does anybody grow Galanga? If so then when is the best time to dig up and divide rhizomes and/or use some for cooking?
