Growing Turmeric in central NC. I didn't know it was possible until last year. A friend purchased Turmeric to plant in the spring and gave me some to try. So I researched growing Turmeric, planted some and waited to see how it would turn out. The harvest was just OK the first year but I learned from it. This is my second year and I am VERY pleased with the results. Visit with me today and I'll show you how I learned to grow and propagate Turmeric successfully in just 2 years.
