Harvesting Myoga Ginger

One thing I wanted to do when summer rolled around again was to make a short video showing how we harvest the Myoga Ginger as there seems to be a lot of interest in this plant and most examples on U-tube are mostly in Japanese.

So here’s the link. I hope you find it interesting and useful...

Harvesting is easy. The bulbs grow at the base of the plant at ground level. Sometimes you'll notice a flower shooting out the end of it. Using a sharp knife simply cut the bulb off. This may involve cutting below the surface of the ground to reach the base of the bulb.

    Hello Dave!

    Just been reading your gardening blog (know it was posted awhile back), and saw you hv mioga ginger!!! My mom loves them as it reminds her of when she was younger! I was wondering if you had some which I could have to grow them for my mom??? It would be so totally wonderful if she had those again! She's 65 going 66.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!
    Thank you,
    Evon

    Love your blog and the information you provide. We just were gifted several large garbage size bags with roots. I guess we’re going to be adding this crop to our farm offering 🤣
