We had a very hot and dry July and I was watering often- the gingers do like their water. Then we had a hot and wet August and the plants really shot up. Stay tuned for the outcome, I hope to have ginger and turmeric to share with friends! By the way, I order my fresh ginger and turmeric roots from Hawaiian sources in February and start them in my sunroom as soon as they arrive (next year I want to try another ginger: galangal!).
