Full StoryHi,
I would really love to grow all 3 of these plants next year. I really would like to grow the ginger and turmeric especially. I have a space of 2x2 for turmeric and same size space for ginger, and can give a 3x3 for the yacon. What I need to know is when to plant, light and water requirements, as well as a fertilizing schedule (if any), and time to harvest. And when you do harvest, is there a special way to handle them? Do you take them out of the sun, wash them off/don't wash them off etc? I am in zone 9b so temps never drop below 40F. Thanks in advance.
