Dear friends of hivegarden I hope you are well and are enjoying enormously what the beautiful nature allows us to make of it, for me it is a pleasure to greet you. This week at the beginning of February I want to share with you my experience with my valuable turmeric plant. It is important to me, because I use it constantly for my stomach problems, as I feel relief when I drink its tea. Therefore, I have tried to always keep turmeric plants in my vegetable garden.

I had always heard that it was difficult to grow turmeric, I particularly believe that any plant should be important soil conditions, as well as where we place it so that it develops optimally. I am struck by the nobility of this plant, because it is not necessary to water it every day. I have this plant planted in a container between some plants such as: dog's tail and another with the objective that it shelters some shade.

I don't know how much time I had 🤔 since the last time I left a tuber in the ground, I think that if I count the time it would seem endless waiting time, because I admit that I am very impatient 🤷. In the container where I have it there are several plants, but two of them were already withered. However, seeing what they were in that state I checked it to see if it had some tubercle and I will show you what I found.

That's great 😉. It feels good to see that my little plants are giving me something even if it's just a little.
I recognize that the pot where I have it is ugly 😬, because it is already very deteriorated, I will have to look for another container to replace it and it is possible that it will be very soon. I do not want to neglect it to become extinct.

As you can notice in the picture there is another green turmeric plant in the same container, so I thought that if the root of the new plant is united with the root that I am going to take out it could damage it. So I was careful to pull it out. To remove the root without damaging it, I will use a large knife to dig it from the sides and with the help of my hands I will uncover it.

At first glance it seemed that the root I would take out seemed small, but I kept checking and to my surprise I had more around it 😁. What a thrill! 👏👏. I tried to look for more among the soil, but by now I was done. Of course, I didn't miss the opportunity to leave some turmeric in the soil to keep growing more of this plant. Finally, I put them in a bowl to wash them.

Oh my goodness, this is amazing. I have seen that leave when I travelled to Ghana but I didn't know it was tumeric. I just learn from you post that this is how tumeric use to be. Thanks friend and Garden On!

Hi how nice that you liked reading my post. Well you know how turmeric plants are 😄 Thanks to you for commenting . 👋

No problem dear. Waiting to see more quality posts like this😀

What great to harvest your own turmic, I tried to grow it here in Greece, but no success until now. Wonder full to dee

What a pity 😔, but keep trying as at my first opportunity I thought the plant would never be born but it finally came out in plant bud. Thank you for reading and leaving your valuable feedback.

I am not sure if greece has the right climate to grow turmeric and ginger... But yes every year i plant them and some year it will work.
Thank you as well

Beautiful harvest. There's nothing that attracts and encourages a farmer more than hood yields and harvesting ☺️

Fantastic! That's a great turmeric harvest, well done! I love turmeric and I'm hoping mine grows that well. I'm hopeful for the stuff in the pots that's for sure!

So I am very happy to be able to harvest my own turmeric. And of course you have to try it I hope you also have good experiences with your plant. Thanks for commenting on my post 😊.

The thing that cracks me up in your post is the orange hands clapping emoji. 👏👏

Turmeric dyes the skin orange. Makes me wonder if it's ever been used in make-up as a natural tanning bronzer.
