    We Sri Lankans use turmeric powder in almost all of our curries along with coconut milk. To make turmeric powder you have to steam the yams until they are slightly soft and slice and dry either in the sun or an oven and then ground in to a powder. Powder made from well dried yams can be kept for a long time. A very small amount even be added to your casseroles or curries to give it a nice yellow colour 😊😊

      Why do you make a nd use powder rather than using freshly grated tumeric?

    • @dushy09
      @dushy09 3 года назад +10

      @@libbartholomeusz6479 Because fresh turmeric is not available throughout the year. It's seasonal.

    Started out with one turmeric plant two summers ago, it grew as high as yours. From that plant, I replanted eleven tubers in a raised garden bed, they grew a little higher and gave us a better yield. Last spring, (end of October 2120) I planted into another raised bed with five centimeters of compost added to it, (fifty percent mushroom compost). Then I added ten centimeters of cane mulch on top.
    It is the first day of Autumn and the turmeric is over two meters tall.
    The trick is a good compost mixture and very little if any, fertilizer.
    Happy growing and remember, for the body to absorb turmeric one must use black pepper with it, it aids the digestion system to absorb it.

    An easier way to harvest your Turmeric is to lay out a tarp. Lay the pot on its side and then roll it a couple of times to loosen the dirt and roots, then pull out the plant. Harvest rhizomes. Hope this helps.

    Hi. Turn the plastic pot on its side, tramp on the side of the pot in a couple of places turning the pot then the whole plant will come out at once. No spade needed. XXX

    I just pulled mine up yesterday. Nice mass of pieces. I took the green off, cut it into pieces and shoved it right back into the pot. One like yours. I saw a fat healthy worm so that was his reward for growing such a nice plant. My health food store sells them for $29/ lb. in the middle of the summer.

    The flower also probably had seeds. I love turmeric so much. If you see the seeds harvest them too. I love ginger, and Jerusalem artichokes. I love to crunch on it as it has a lovely nutty flavor.

      @aliahraha5804 3 года назад +2

      @Audrey Ando: if you have the opportunity and space to let it grow for 2 years the harvest is amazing, I got that too from a Friend in Thailand. Also you can put compost dirt on top of the pot to keep the warm.

    Just harvested our first ever turmeric grown in four smaller pots here in northern France. I have been wondering how to keep the tubers going over winter so your comments have been very helpful. We grew ours in a polytunnel and next summer I will plant it in the greenhouse soil where I hope it will produce a larger crop. Thanks for your video.

  • @holleymother9026
    @holleymother9026 3 года назад +1

    I saw on another turmeric video that there is usable turmeric up into the stem. So don't necessarily cut off at the bulb and throw the stem away. Peel the stem to reveal the root like substance.

    I have some also. But I just bring the entire pot inside and baby it throughout the winter. I'm in Maryland, so I know it's way to cold in the winters here. I have never used any turmeric, fresh yet though only powdered from the store. Thank you I learned something today. I think I will also divide my up for more plants this year. Love your channel. Really enjoy all your tips, & tricks. But I'm not on a homestead. Just a little over a acre, mostly wooded. And can barely get a good eight hours of sunlight anywhere on my property. 😕 I even tried my front yard one year. Still not enough per day.

    You would not believe how difficult it is to find complete information on prepping turmeric for winter in cold climates thank you, but did you ever do a back up video the next spring on restarting the plants in the spring ? This would help. I stopped watering and brought them in 6 weeks ago. Is there anything you can recommend that I do in the next 2 weeks to help the roots get through the winter I'll put them in the coolest area in the house in shredded paper in a card board box and bring them back out in march to restart them when its time to start my root stock and heirloom tomatoes for grafting . Thanks, we live in Maryland 10 miles east of D.C. and about the same climate as yours. Mike

      How did they turn out after winter storage? I am wanting to store mine in the garage, where it gets cold but not freezing. Last year I tried leaving them in the pot with soil, and it rotted and hollowed out the rhyzome.

    • @photon434
      @photon434 Год назад

      But I have had many failures with overwintering ginger and garlic. This year I successfully kept ginger overwinter in the garage for the first time. Watered sparingly when it got too dry, but not so much to rot it. I still don't feel I have a solid handle on it. I really want a tested and true answer.@@radrickdavis

    Wow this is interesting. I took thin sliced carrots a can of pineapple chucks and a 1/2” of ginger (made into very thin slivers) of ginger . Put them all in a sauce pan and cooked till carrots were slightly tender. Oh my I love it and will do again soon. I couldn’t eat it all at one time so Jared in and refrigerated it. Yum yum. I grew Ginger like you did the turmeric . Very easy and fun to see results. But I did it in-the house through the winter. Dug in Pot and broke off a piece as I needed. Easy pesy. Bought mystarter piece at Wal Mart.

    That was a fantastic first year's harvest! And I bet Organic Heirloom (or not) Turmeric will fly off the stall at the market. I always thought Turmeric was Orange didn't realise that there were other varieties plus I thought they put down a tap root before growing their 'fingers' but yours was as near to Ginger. Are you going to be growing other varieties in the future now that this was such a success?

  • @Shumbalion
    @Shumbalion 2 года назад

    Growing it in the UK is a challenge =D
    I had one piece grow less than 1/6 of the size of that beast. Tried to get 3 going the next year from the dregs of what was left, but ended up with just the very top of one plant and a few small roots - no lumpy bits due to not even frost temperatures. Yay.. o_O This year I managed to recover it and I have some lumpy bits left over. Some parts look like that have been eaten up by the plant, long hollow roots, I’m not sure if they are roots being odd, or deflates fingers. It got a bit cold and I left it until the tops browned and fell over. My plant was almost never outside as I feared night temperatures would stump it, also I was too lazy to go in-out every day lol.
    I wonder what temperature it can handle in the growing season before ill effects take place.
    I also planted it with the top of root exposed that seemed to help it stay strong. I suspect the moisture plus cold at the end of the year makes the top rot easy, thus how I lost almost everything previously. Unsure how much water they like. =D

    Drop the pot on its side a few times and pull the whole plant out intact.

    would you save ginger root in the same way? Last year I grew ginger and had loads of root. They dried up quickly in the refridge.
    I am going to try tumeric this year.
