Hi Dr D.K. Sadana,
Welcome to KGI.
I have an A-frame house, but I understand a lot of people use the flatroof for gardening.
Doctor sahib, your comments are great source of encouragement for me. Organic Farming is my passion since last five years and photography since school days.
BEETAL is the breed I have... giving 2 to 2.5 kgs/day.
GulGul! I am glade you have. Can you tell me what is the best use of this GulGul? Over here people say its good for cows, it is too sour to eat.. my mother use this for ACHAR (Pickle). This is the only way we are consuming it.
Sounds like you live in an important agricultural area. I do too. Here our farmers grow wheat, barley, potatoes, corn, beans, etc. I have a small garden in which I grow lots of culinary herbs, lettuce/spinach, green beans, tomatoes, carrots and beets. I wish I had more space, and also better light. Neighboring trees and buildings give my garden too much shade for optimal harvests. I hope you enjoy KGI.
Wow Sandra! You've asked for an awful lot of information! Start by checking for your "predicted" last frost date.
There are frost charts online, but the quickest way for you, I think, is to call your county extension agent. He'll be listed in the ph…
Hmmm... we are having lots of sacred snow these days in Baltimore... can't wait for some of it to melt down...
can't wait for spring to get my fingers back in the soil...
Oh gosh, that is rare to get humidity that far south! That is where all our moisture went - we havnt had any rain for over a week :) I started that gemsquash group as I discovered a new member (Margaret Flett) who had gemsquash as her favourite vege…
Yes it's hot but very humid which is unusual. We are having a spell of days in the low 30s but tropical air is being pushed south by the weather systems up north and we are getting rain and humidity. The rain we love - the humidity we are not used t…
yes - the pods are quite tough. We only ate the peas inside and we always ate them green although many Indian people dry them. They are known as toovar dhal in Gujerati or tuvaram in Tamil and there are lots of recipes for them dried. Just google to…
Mary,
so you always shell them? I am entirely in the dark with these, and no more flowers :(... Did you only cook the peas fresh or did you leave some to dry?
I posted a photo of the HUGE luffa I found, and there are lots more making an appearance -…
Hi i just wanted to ask, I know it is still cold and i want to know what i can grow in the garden that would be organic and as close to the original foods? How do i find seeds for these foods? When do i start growing? Can i start seed in the house?…
