That daily ginger grating to keep your bug happy really stood out, like a tiny fermentation pet that pays you back on cold days :) I had the same issue with store ginger feeling a bit lifeless, so growing your own to seed the culture sounds defintely worth the time. Also loved the simple math of a few lettuce starts giving fresh leaves for months, thats the kind of small habit that adds up. Microgreens sprinkled on hot food while sitting on the kitchen ch;air sounds perfect for this season.

Growing ginger is surprisingly easy. You just find sprouting ones in early summer and put it in soil. Then they are! Other lettuce & microgreens are simple too. We can grow food much more easier than we think. Of course some difficult ones are there though ;)
Love that approach. If I tuck a sprouting knob in a pot now, how long it take to pull a decent harvest on a small balcony? My spot gets morning light then shade, will ginger still grow okay, or better to keep in a warmer corner? For lettcue, I plan to sow a few every two weeks and keep teh tray of microgreens, cheap and cheerful :) Also curious if shungiku does fine in soil indoors without any liquid ferts.
I think it is quite dependent to the climate of where you live. In my place, eastern part of Germany, it's too cold now. So I will plant mine next May and harvest around this season of the year. What I do is to find someone in the same zone and follow on YouTube :)
