You probably can grow ginger there. Google growing ginger in pots, that's how I do it here in 6b and it's easy peasy.

I used to live in zone 5 and now that I've been growing for 2 seasons I'm confident you could do it up there. I have enough that I'm trading about 4 pounds to a friend down in GA for some of her turmerics. Turmeric is grown the same way.

Neither will flower for you up there, but you are after the rhizomes anyway, and a good bright location in zone 5 should enable them to grow without issue. They like moisture, but not soggy soil. I use a decent potting mix with a large run off tray (for humidity) and water weekly.

In the winter I pull my pots inside to a bright window, water lightly, let them go dormant on their own, and grab fresh green ginger from the pot as I need it. It stays green and plump all winter despite no growth on top, and in the spring I set the pots outside for another season. Works like a charm.

I only plan to dry as much as will fit the trays., which is maybe half of what is left after mailing to my friend. I started with 1 pound of organic, sourced from a local organic store, right before everything shut down in March 2020, and probably have over 12 pounds now.

I live in zone 9!

You should be able to grow it in the ground no problem Ginger and turmeric like zone 9, or about a 10 month growing/warm period.
My friend lives in 8b (I think) and does hers in the garden.

You'll probably need a party shady area and if it's drier there, you might need to provide humidity.

Do you want me to include you in a group PM with more ginger info?

Please include me in your group PM.
