I'm not sure how ginger works, but I imagine it is the same. I've never seen fresh tumeric here, maybe I'll have to order it from the Asia Mart.
I can't grow garlic or onions because they grow over winter and I don't own my land so during the winter, I have no control over what goes on there.
Ahh, makes sense. We haven't tried onions and garlic yet, either. I think the turmeric is supposed to be put in the ground early spring? I'll have to look it up again, but I believe that's what my boyfriend said. Apparently it will just stay dormant over winter even if you do leave it in the ground during the cold weather.
That makes sense. The ground here doesn't really freeze during winter. Maybe the first 1cm or something.
