I'm in USDA 7b/8a and myoga has been on my wish list for a long time. For me, that was partly because I want "all the plants," but mostly because I was looking for a zone-appropriate substitute for ginger (Zingiber officinale) which I didn't think we could grow here.

However, in the meantime, I planted a small hand of ginger from the grocery store one year. It grew! I dug it up before our first frost - it was roughly the same as what I planted. I stored the rhizome inside all winter in a very dry box of wood shavings, and replanted in spring. It grew again, and very well! A cool plant with a tropical vibe, a ginger smell, and a good conversation piece. I had low expectations when I dug it up again that fall. I was shocked to find the rhizome had almost tripled in size! We took a little for the kitchen, stored the rest in wood shavings, and just planted out this spring for attempt number 3. If this trend keeps up, I have my ginger needs covered.

Sharing in case you're in a similar situation :)

I still want some myoga though...

I am in 7b and for me, turmeric "just grows" -- plants are happy outdoors in summer, and will perhaps quadruple their rhizomes in a summer season.  It's not a ton but a little turmeric goes a long way.  They are stupidly frost-sensitive but I've had OK luck just bringing them plants indoors over winter.  They don't grow much and the leaves are spindly and weak, but come summer they put up new shoots and get back to work.

Culinary ginger does less well for me.  It's very sensitive to drying out and the foliage is weak in the Oklahoma wind.  Plants don't die under the best care I can provide but they don't thrive or give me much rhizome increase.  
 
This one time, at band camp, I had relations with a tiny ad.
