How do you know if ginger is ready to harvest?
Online Answer
Once the plant has blossomed, the rhizomes are mature enough for harvesting, usually in about 10-12 months from sprouting. At this juncture, the leaves have yellowed and dried and the stems are falling over. The rhizomes will have a firmer skin that will bruise less easily when handling and washing.
