Anyone know if you can grow Turmeric, Galangal or Karachi from
roots in
the UK?

So far my ginger has sprouted - but my Turmeric and Karachi have not
shown any signs of life. I will persist...

I can't remember what it was, but i have a rhizomey-thing with pointy
fingers which grow downwards from it.

I planted it this spring, and it has only just begun sprouting a rather
ginger-ish appearing leaf, so, don't despair...
