Two varieties of turmeric, on the left is the cultivated one and on the right the one that grows in the wild only in the monsoon. I’m growing a patch of turmeric now and got to see the other variety today. The villagers say that for any tuber or root that you’re growing you must wait for the leaves above to turn yellow, that’s when you know that all the essence of the plant has got deposited in the root! Two weeks more to go to harvest the turmeric. Watch this space! #turmeric #growingturmeric #iphone7plus #thehappybanyan
