It&#39;s a great read. I&#39;m slowly learning what grows well and what doesn&#39;t in Queensland and I would happily let turmeric take over. Your are right about the staining qualities of it and my hands have looked jaundice for days. The taste surpasses anything I&#39;ve ever bought.Janishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06173276082997529228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-44647049611089633522010-12-28T13:56:53.954+11:002010-12-28T13:56:53.954+11:00G&#39;day Julie,<br />Here&#39;s wishing you a great sustainable 2011! I came across your blog today as I was checking out how best to plant some more tumeric rhizomes I bought from Green Harvest. I&#39;ve just come up from the garden (a suburban block in Sydney) having planted some more ginger in-between the cumquot and lime trees. <br />With my six children grown up and gone (so far we have four grandchildren - all the joy and none of the hard work!) I&#39;ve decided that 2011 is the year I&#39;m going to sort out the house and sell lots of the un-necessary stuff we have. You&#39;ve provided me with the inspiration I need - keep up the good work.<br />Cheers,<br />MichelleMichellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12509260774229365876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-38482453080118070672010-04-06T09:34:54.831+10:002010-04-06T09:34:54.831+10:00That&#39;s a brilliant harvest Julie.<br /><br />We live in the UK so can only dream of the climate that lets you do this stuff outside. However I&#39;ve got Ginger, Turmeric and some (fruiting) pineapples in a conservatory at home. More details here:<br />http://www.pbase.com/celidh/growing_pineapples<br /><br />The Banana that finally outgrew out conservatory got planted out in the garden last summer. I protected it well over winter but we had an unusually cold one (got down to -11C for several weeks) so I&#39;m a little nervous on whether it will have survived.<br /><br />Love your website!Celidhhttp://www.pbase.com/celidhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-36337430415285182782009-07-05T12:43:42.190+10:002009-07-05T12:43:42.190+10:00What a fabulous return!Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824924349210440889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-21827501007379334332009-07-03T17:00:33.847+10:002009-07-03T17:00:33.847+10:00Hi guys,<br />Thanks!<br /><br />@ Maggie - My dehydrator is a Sunbeam but if I were buying another one I would invest in an Excalibur with an adjustable thermostat (which mine doesn&#39;t have) to do different fruits etc.<br /><br />@ Deb - I started out the year before last with rhizomes from my local organic grocer. <br /><br />@ livinginalocalzone - I estimate the area was probably 1m x 0.5m? I think that would be about 3 yards by 2 yards?<br /><br />Cheers, JulieJuliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-36548589422277262632009-07-03T03:37:14.210+10:002009-07-03T03:37:14.210+10:00Wow, what a harvest.
