Growing Ginger

I love pinterest, and one of the pins you can see everywhere today is growing plants from food scraps. I also love ginger.  I make a mean ginger milk tea, that I drink a lot of.

The premise is simple, take a piece of ginger root and place it 50% in the dirt and 50% in the air.  Water frequently and watch it go.  I thought it would be a smaller plant, something cute I could leave inside.

It's HUGE!!!

It has taken over the back corner... and as soon as its warm outside, it is getting the boot.    

I hope I get lucky and can harvest a ton this fall.
