Kitchen Gardeners

It was cloudy in the morning,and a very little shower was received.It was holiday,due to birthday of Iqbal our national poet.I went in my kitchen garden,it was not too wet,so I decoded to transplant chilies ,tomatoes and first batch of lettuce.I took my maid .my gate keeper and my maid's daughter with me.We spent half an hour there and completed the task.I also noticed a very delicious fig hiding in the leaves,I picked it along with my harvest of radish,lemons and turnips.Today we had a lunch of grain bread ,fresh butter and residue left after getting butter that we calls LASSI.

I don't eat turnip greens but some people use them in a mixture of other leaves i;e.mustard, fenugeri ,spinach and turnip greens.These leaves are collected when very young, the variety is also different.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
