Dear Allan, Having never tried it in a hoop house, I can't say. But I know ginger is grown in southern Ontario and in British Columbia as a commercial field crop. Big oriental population in Canada and blond, juvenile ginger brings a good price. So if they can grow it in Canada, I can't see any problem with growing it in Virginia.
