A "first time" for us this year. Growing turmeric root. The roots I ordered arrived (very late however), so they were planted in a large pot indoors for now. I originally planned to plant them individually in small pots, but decided on the big pot. I can water them all in one pot, watch them over, and see if they will grow as they are said to grow. Each root has a sprout, and that is needed before you plant them. I can dig them up later, and plant in more individual pots. I'm not planting them outside, as we have zero room in the gardens this year (and they would need brought in for winter too). I'm excited to see how this all goes for us. A "first time" this year as well, is making lemon balm tincture. I make a few tinctures over summer months (you need fresh herbs vs. dried) for a powerful tincture. I may have, maybe one more "new first" using lemon balm this year. More on that later if it...
