I have at this time of season ( April ) a small sprouting ginger root. I believe it is not the right time of season to plant it into my vegetable garden. What am I going to do with this root? Please advise. I am living in Cape town with winter rains. I really would also appreciate directions how to plant it best. Thank you very much for your helpful advise. Looking forward to your response. Kind regards, Heidi

You could maybe plant it in a pot and protect it from excess rain, then plant out in the spring.
