December 3, 2013

Wow, I kind of gave up on this blog.  Here I am, breathing new life into it (hopefully).

Turmeric!!  I planted some a turmeric root this year, and after waiting a very, very long time (months), it sprouted.  I babied it for another couple of months, then, after it had a few leaves, transplanted it into the garden, giving it a whole garden bed to spread out in.  Within forty-eight hours, the gophers had eaten it. 

So, this time, I planted THREE tubers.  And one finally sprouted!!    I will let it (and hopefully, its brethren) winter in the house, and then I will probably put it in an Earthbox to keep it safe.  I am hoping to be able to harvest some tubers by this time next year!
