8. Oh, I love turmeric

That's why I'd like to grow it!

Actually I probably have a nice batch of turmeric and edible ginger under the oak tree next to the house. Problem is, the pinecone ginger has intermingled so it would be a pain to dig and dig to sort through the roots. Plus, from somewhere, a white blooming ginger is now in the mix and spreading rapidly.

We bought a fake (resin) half barrel to plant edible ginger and turmeric in this year so it stayed separate and under control. Once it cools off a bit, I may send my husband out to dig around the markers where I planted turmeric and edible ginger several years ago - I bet he will find a bunch out there - and I can plant some of them in my barrel to make them easier to harvest!
