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.

Dear gardener friends, I hope you liked my publication. For now I say goodbye to you, I hope to greet you soon in this beautiful community.
