Well, I was thinking about maybe trying to grow some ginger, but hadn’t got around to checking out the requirements to see if it would grow in Mo.

Since most Tumeric is grown in the areas similar in climate to India, I didn’t think it would be something to try here. I like to take the capsules, since the spice dyes every thing yellow.

I don't think turmeric and Missouri's climate are compatible. However, I know ginger can be grown there, with a bit of care.

Now, would you like some fresh turmeric? You're quite welcome, but you'll have to make a trip to STL (sorry).

Hi, after my sister and I drove ninety miles to st Louis to buy fresh turmeric, I found that the Carbondale Kroger’s has started carrying fresh turmeric. We both grew some in pots last year and brought it in over the winter.

I think I have some small roots in a bag in the kitchen that have started to sprout, that I could send if you would like. They are lots of fun to grow.
