How many months after planting a ginger should you harvest it?

Ginger is typically ready for harvest about 8 to 10 months after planting. You can start harvesting earlier for baby ginger, which can be harvested around 4 to 6 months after planting. The timing depends on the desired size and maturity of the ginger rhizomes. Be sure to check the plants for signs of readiness, such as yellowing leaves.
