I really appreciate you. Wasn’t forced to watch a 15 minute video just to still have questions unanswered. Thanks 👏🏾
Thanks Jake
Great little video, short and to the point with no waffling on for ages. good to find yet another Aussie gardener on here. I just harvested my Turmeric today, and despite only growing it in a smallish pot, I got close to 2 Kilos. greetings from South Australia, have subbed.
Appreciated thanks Catey :)
Awesome no nonsense video, I learned more from this video than all the other videos I've watched combined ...
Appreciate the kind feedback :)
Exactly what I needed to know, how to plant the crown 🙏
Well done! Answered all my questions in 4 minutes. Your videographer skills are as stunning as your gardening.
Thankyou for your kind feedback :)
Nice video i learn a lot thanks for
Thank you for this video. I will be harvesting my small crop soon.
Amazing vid thank you!
👍👍👍
(Hi, I have not harvested my tumeric for many years but the plant grows back each year after the leaves dies in winter.
So, is this aged tumeric still good for human consumption? Thanks, anticipating your reply).
Very nice video, separating the crowns like that makes it so much faster than what I have been doing.
Excellent video. You answered my question on which part of the turmeric plant to replant, the crowns and you showed what they look like. Just harvested one plant last week and on my second today. ? Have you ever let plants got two or three years before harvesting and what are the results? From Florida much thanks.
Hi Chef, Turmeric is a perennial and will perpetually reproduce, so they essentially create new rhizomes each year, the rhizomes from the year before are mature & at their most potent thus best to use. The rhizomes prior to that will have begun to decay back into the soil and so the cycle repeats :) We have various gardens where we harvest turmeric, Once your plants have been growing for more than two years, you can rotate which garden to dig up from that point to ensure your always getting two year old crops.
@@Limestone_Permaculture Thank you....
@@Limestone_Permaculture I'm baaack... So am I right to say now with my plants 4ft high I have to wait until the leaves die back and turn brown before harvesting? My next issue is who pulled my signs that said one year old and newly planted, hard to tell the difference...I'm sure it must be my dog for me wife would never do that, right! Last question: After cleaning do you take off the turmeric skin before using? Mucho thanks mon...
@@chefbambu9382 Yes wait till the plants yellow or die back. we simply wash the turmeric and use it skin and all :)
Thank you, I have one plant with a beautiful flower on it. Can't wait to pull it up.
How do you dry the fingers, in the sun or shade?
Hi Patricia, usually dry them in the sun for one day is enough :)
@@Limestone_Permaculture Thank you!
This was an excellent video I learnt what was needed after harvesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thankyou Jennifer :)
Dam !!! This guy is far better then to watch the Rolling stones out of England fo sure .
I can watch learn benefit numerous ways .
Whiem I watched 18 minutes of That ro l ing stones I lost precious times . Dint learn a s that could had benefit self or my own or any others .
I lost time in learning productivity things.
Certainly this guys are far better :)
Thank you so much for this video without it my turmeric harvesting would be a fail
When you have harvested do you cut off all root material before replanting or plant with existing rooting intact?
We leave root material intact, even if it drys out it will still be good to plant :)
@@Limestone_Permaculture Thanks, appreciate the reply.
Thank you! Is it weird that your soil excites me? 😂 it looks awesome!
Not at all... it excites me :)
Do the leaves have to be completely dry for harvest?
You can begin to harvest when the leaves yellow off and begin to die back, they do not need to be dry :)
@@limestonepermaculture4902 Thank you 😊
Sir can you store the crown area. How?
Thanks mate
Are you saying crowns or crayon? 😂😂😂. Great vid, mate.
Very good....Ilikeit
My turmeric (in pot) just started sprouting. Is it too late to harvest and replant? Do not want to kill it.
Hi, it all depends what season your heading into..... if its winter, best to harvest this upcoming June. Save the crowns or a few good rhizomes, for replanting and eat the rest. Keep pot in a warm place that doesnt get frost. it will bounce back in mid-spring.
Thank you very much, Limestone Permaculture. The film is very helpful and clear. I envy your crop :)
Good
How do you store the crowns before replanting them?
How long & where do you store it once dried? Great video 👍
So, if you just leave the turmeric in the ground, would it just keep growing that root ball and keep expanding it? Is there such a thing as turmeric roots that are too old to eat? Do they get stringy or fibrous?
@@Limestone_Permaculture Fascinating! Thank you for the detailed response.
I also have this question! I have a three year old turmeric that I dug up today, and one crown was very fresh, and the other crown was more woody and brown. I replanted the fresh one, and have the old woody one out on the counter debating whether I should consume it....
Wish I had of watched this before I just harvested my first crop of turmeric! I didn’t keep the crowns.. can I use the fingers for replanting instead?
Yes the finger pieces work fine :)
Use of fresh turmeric in usa?
Beautiful 😍
Where can I get the crowns?
from anyone growing Turmeric in your area :)
This is great! I agree with the others, direct to the point and well done. Thanks
Thankyou :)
Excellent! Thank you
Cheers :)
I started my turmeric late this year in Texas. Mid summer instead of early spring. Though the green grew nicely, it never flowered. Can I expect rhizomes when I harvest? Thanks
Hi, You can expect rhizomes though they will most likely be small (a little under developed). So harvest only what you need and leave the rest in the ground to grow onto a second year.
@@limestonepermaculture4902 - Thanks! Great idea!
@@ikigai47 IIRC it takes couple years before flowering. It also needs good conditions for flowering
Good 🌞
Thank you so much
Cheers :)
Great harvest!
Cheers :)
Can the fingers be planted?
Thanks.
@@Limestone_Permaculture If I want to plant the crowns and fingers next spring, how should we store them during winter?
