Some root ginger I have is sprouting lovely healthy looking shoots. I would like to grow it on. Any suggestions?

Thanks for that link - they say a minimum temperature of 28C :eek:
22C is the highest temperature I have recorded this summer in the house and yet the ginger is shooting merrily upwards.
Just goes to show, sometimes you can get away with growing things that the books say you can't. These things are always worth a try.
