Harvest Black Turmeric, curcuma caesia; known as Kali haldi in India, is a rare type of herb, harder to find but here I give tips on how easy it is to grow. Learning as we go, the rhizomes grow with bulbous growth most likely they function as food storage organs during dormancy in cold winter months. Ours may take years to get a large crop but we started with a small piece. Mine grew on a table top, in a flower pot, with simple woodchips and potting soil, in a morning sun area, so to get burned or dried out by the Summer hot afternoon sun. Here you will see how 2 tiny pieces of black turmeric multiplied in size in less than 2 years. Interesting Taste.

Maybe you could make a new label out of a tote lid? π
Its a beautiful color. I have some orange tumeric in a paper bag in the refrigerator I'm ready to plant. I hope it roots and doesn't rot.
That color is insane!

Robbie, love your Rainbow Garden area. What a beautiful color the black turmeric is! Congrats on your harvest! π So cool to see!π
The black turmeric is a beautiful gemmy blue!
Robbie! Whats up with the short videos? My cat Lila and I want a long one, and she would like to see some hummingbird action. She only watches your bird videos. LOL! Seriously, she recognizes your voice and here she comes and sits down in front of the tv and watches you, waiting for the birds.
Love you! Waiting for the next garden tour!
That is beautiful, I didn't know turmeric was anything but that yellow, and does that yellow stain. So interesting
I have never seen black turmeric before, sure is a beautiful color. Thanks for sharing β¨β¨β¨
Appreciate your videos Robbie! You reignited my passion for gardening.π
Congratulations on your harvest!
πββοΈRobbie, compliments on the short but complete (including the beginning & backstory), most interesting, teaching on an unusual (for me) plant! π
Does it taste like a spicy radish? I love the spicy radish for my coleslaw, chipped very small & chunks in my salads.
HINT . . . . . Add a bit of good coconut oil & lightly saute for a wonderful, new taste π
Sincere gratitude for you & Gary, who add a bit of joy π€ to our lives (you, my dear, are an entire flock of precious hummingbirds)β£

Hi. Love watching your vlogs and I have learned lots of gardening tricks. I remember you mentioned that you will do a vlog on tomato trellis that is cost- effective. Something with corners. Have you done it yet? Stay safe.

Those balls hanging down at the ends are like a root cellar for the
turmeric. Next time don't wait until the plant has completely died back
otherwise it'll go into hibernation mode. In hibernation mode the plant
will divert energy away from the tubers and into those little balls to
store food (like a root cellar) in order to feed itself over the winter.
If you harvest your turmeric before it completely dies back you may get some turmeric . It's kind of a trial and error process to find that harvest day. The little balls will not grow more turmeric . Turmeric need lots of nutrition to grow those edible tubs so find yourself video how to grow then. There is a channel that grow beautiful turmeric is call California Gardening

Black is least productive turmeric. Supposedly highest in medicinals. The white grows a nice rhizome structure and decent amount. In search of green now.
