Just FYI, Nugget in Vacaville and Raley's on Texas Street in Fairfield both have turmeric root, from which I have successfully sprouted and grown my own plant. No word yet on whether it will be fruitful, it's still in the establishing stages.

While it is pleasurable to do research by thumbing through one's beloved collection of hard copies, modern technology presents an easy way of finding information through internet searches. So why not do it first? Very likely, the "hits" would point to the very publications one has stacked on the bookshelf.  
 
As to sources of fresh turmeric in Solano County, I would recommend the Asian stores. I have bought it at Seafood City for prices ranging from $2.99 to $4.99 a bag.  
 
I love it in my Bali Elixir! Get the recipe by typing the term in your search box.

You are a pioneer if you can cultivate and harvest this. Let us know the results. I myself am blessed with a huge crop of oregano this year. It seems to re-establish itself each year now. My wife is not an oregano fan but I am, esp. with tomato-flavor dishes.

I got mine from Trader Joe's. I've always used turmeric powder in my morning eggs with a little bit of cumin, salt and pepper, but had not thought to use the fresh ones. I found the recipe for Bali Elixir. I am going to try it. Thanks.
