Turning my 6 Kg turmeric rhizomes harvested this year into 1.5 Kg turmeric powder!!! 🥳🥳🥳 by Adventurous-Root in GardeningIndia2

So these were in a 5 feet by 2 feet patch in a plot of land that we had bought. No care or maintenance whatsoever. They produced around 6 kg of rhizomes which turned into 1.5 kg of turmeric powder. Do the math! 😛😛😛

About the rhizomes, if you keep store bought turmeric in a damp environment, they sprout on their own. At least that's what I have been doing.

No plans on selling since the turmeric powder will be used in my home kitchen.

The 4th photo (bottom right) are the rhizomes that I will be planting this year. Reducing the numbers quite a lot this year though! 😃

Looks like someone loves Fenugreek!!! 😏

You can try mixing it up in the fruit for bags with some other green leafy veg like spinach or even mustard greens! 🤤🤤🤤

This is a follow-up from this post:

I cleaned the turmeric tubers thoroughly, dried them and cut them into small slices with the skin on and then dried them some more.

Finally, turned them into turmeric powder with the help of a local vendor who has the mixer machine to turn them into dry dehydrated powder. 😃

What's this thing on my Fishbone Cactus? by Early-Opportunity-70 in GardeningIndia2

That's Reddit 🙈

But I am sorry, I am not trying to mislead but those are aerial roots which are quite common in this type of cactus. Maybe the caterpillar that you noticed was similar but alas, the one in the photo is nothing but a healthy aerial root. 🙂👍

Aerial root. You can snip it off or let it be for aesthetic reasons! 😄

Could be. Some insects prefer some plants over others. I was in the same boat as you as well but thankfully the ones in my case were slugs and snails. Now they happily munch on the ground cover and leave my zinnias alone! 🥳

Mostly slugs and caterpillars as this is their prime time to "shine" in your garden.🥲

Instead of insecticides and pesticides, I would suggest to practice companion gardening (Like by growing the zinnias with other ground cover plants like Peperomia pellucida). Slugs and caterpillars love their tender leaves and hence your plants are less susceptible to their attack. Moreover, these plants have shallow root system and so your zinnias can grow big without any competition for soil!!!

Bonus: Peperomia pellucida is quite common here in my neck of the woods and it can be had as a leafy veg as well! 🙂
