Default Growing Ginger

Before you ask, no my hair aint changing colour!

Just wondered if anyones ever grown edible ginger.? Apparently you can use a bit of a shop bought rhizome and plant it like a potato. It grows about 4'-0" high

Because it is an oriental plant I imagine it would be best grown undercover?

Wonder what time of year you would plant it?

I love ginger in, ginger beer, beef n ginger and small amounts in whatever takes my fancy
