Dear everyone

All day our whole city has been raining, from the morning until the afternoon the rain has not stopped, and it is a little difficult for us to go shopping for family needs at the traditional market with a distance of about 1.5 kilometers, so after waiting several hours and Finally the rain stopped but the ground was very slippery to go to the market, because the road around my house doesn't have asphalt so if it rains it makes it difficult for me to ride my motorbike, so I decided to go to the garden near my house to get kitchen spices.

some kitchen spices have been reduced from the stock we kept, and the kitchen spice that has completely run out is turmeric, so I go to the garden to get fresh turmeric so I can make dishes with my family, and I feel happy and lucky that I can get young turmeric, Even though this is not suitable for cooking spices, I was forced to use it because the road conditions outside were very slippery, and this turmeric was 3 months old from the first day of planting, and usually we harvest turmeric at around 7 months of planting age.

Even though the turmeric is still young and not yet ready to harvest, this turmeric is still a temporary solution for our family in rainy conditions like now where it is very difficult to go shopping at traditional markets, and I only harvest a stalk of turmeric and get around 2 ounces, not an exact amount, just an estimate because there are no scales to measure.

Thank you very much for reading, and here are some photos of the turmeric harvest in our garden;
