Thank you for the great article, Sandi!! I looked into growing turmeric a couple of years ago but wasn't successful... I can't remember if I just couldn't find it or it was too pricey. I didn't realize it was in the ginger family but I DO know that it has many wonderful health benefits!!
And I'm in luck, we are going to the Whole Foods Market later this month... the closest one is about 125 miles away (wish it was 12 miles, like you Sylvian!
) and it will be my first time there. I hope to make the best of it!!
p.s. I have some regular ginger about to sprout!! re: where to plant, I've read it both ways, plant in full sun and plant in a shady area. Like you said, Sandi, I think it depends on location... for us in Texas the sun is hot, so partial shade it better.
Thanks again.
