I am getting a few of my new ginger flowering now , more to bloom yet
I had a piece of shriveled up Tumeric given to me . I thought it was too old to grow but I dropped it on the ginger paddock when I was on my scooter run . I have this thing called reacher , its like an extended pair of tongs. I used it to grab some mulch to throw over the tumeric , that was about 6 weeks ago .Taday on my rounds there is a tumeric shoot 12 inches high so I look forward to a lovely flower plus tumeris to use in the kitchen.
