It would be much easier to leave it in the ground! I pickle the ginger using a dry sherry - traditionally rice wine or mirin would be used but I don&#39;t have any and it&#39;s more expensive than cooking sherry ;-) Just cover the peeled root with the sherry and seal. Store in the fridge and eat within around 6 months (although I&#39;m still eating mine from last year with no ill effects). Save the pickling juice to use in stir fries - delish!<br /><br />Cheers, JulieJuliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-71574390929233493902009-12-16T08:09:00.797+11:002009-12-16T08:09:00.797+11:00Hi Julie, it is a crazy time of year- always so much happening. I haven&#39;t been reading blogs either- I&#39;m having a big catch up this morning as we have a rare day at home.<br />Hope you enjoy some calmer days now and get a bit of a break.Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824924349210440889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-74105867929296287342009-12-12T16:15:12.524+11:002009-12-12T16:15:12.524+11:00It&#39;s like my friend has been on a holiday.Debhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04483752367305794071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-78385325447551399272009-12-11T20:14:51.010+11:002009-12-11T20:14:51.010+11:00hello Julie,<br /><br />you certainly deserve a day on your own to indulge in a book.

I live up in tropical north queensland and am just starting to grow a lot of what you are growing. Do you have a recipe for your pickled ginger posted? I saw a reference to it, but couldnt find a recipe. Last year I just left the tumeric in the ground and harvested it as I needed it through the dry, and it just came up again this year in the same spot. Is there a reason you harvest it all at once rather than leaving it in the ground? I was thinking that would be a better space saver than storing both the ginger and the tumeric.africanaussiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-27537951017317877732009-12-11T14:40:00.699+11:002009-12-11T14:40:00.699+11:00w.b Julie :) I have missed your updates.
