It’s harvest time here in Louisville — and this week I dug up my Plai, Thai ginger, turmeric, and Chinese finger root before the snow hit! These rhizomes originally flew home with me from Thailand, and this is now the second generation I’ve grown right here in Kentucky.
I might just be developing a new cold-tolerant Thai variety after this week’s freeze — “Bluegrass Plai,” anyone? 🤣
These beautiful roots will soon be transformed into Thai-inspired balms, herbal compresses, and foot and body scrubs, made with other traditional Thai herbs I’ve been collecting and cultivating.
Keep an eye out — coming VERY soon.
