Re: Back to Chat....ginger

Turmeric? Really? I had to look it up, I never thought
about what kind of plant it comes from. Where did you
get the rhizome?
I've never grown any kind of ginger, always figured
they were tropical and I didn't need anything else to
bring into the greenhouse. But I feel like
experimenting with this just to see what it looks
like.
