Our turmeric has gone great guns this summer!
Is it similar to ginger to grow Mark?

Mark I dont have such a large gorgeous patch - yet - but I have had at least one root stock flower if planted with lots of compost. it is so beautiful that I think this is worth cultivating for the flower as well. however, i did find that the tubers were a bit smaller. what about you? and I also dry out and make my own powder. But, I find that I must leave both the tumeric and ginger for a long time and then throw in the oven, lowest setting (gas) with door open overnight. Even in the driest weather they tend to sprout. dont know if this damages the tubers nutritional value.
