Turmeric and ginger harvest: Part 2 - front garden plants

This video shows me digging out and harvesting the turmeric and ginger plants I have in a bed in the front garden.

I expected that the ginger didn't do that well, as the plants were only put in last season from small cuttings. The plants themselves didn't grow very big and had already died off completely. I actually got a few useable chunks of ginger, which is more than I was expecting.

The turmeric plants all looked very healthy and I must admit, I did expect more from them, considering how much I got from the two plants in the back garden. I ended up with about the same (~700g) from the back and front garden, but from 5-6 plants in the front, I did expect a bit more.

I'm hoping that the application of organic fertiliser will help with a more impressive harvest next season. I'll also need to remember to fertilise a bit more regularly, which is something I probably didn't do as much as I should have last season.

It was also a good excuse to get that bed cleared of weeds and mulched again.
