starting early december, we had increased our vegetable growing area very significantly and had moved onto newer methods.
and inspite of losses due to wilt, we have already breached all 2010 numbers.
Jan – Feb | |
Tomato | 19.91 |
Radish | 10.32 |
Pumpkin | 5.4 |
Okra | 1.27 |
Brinjal | 1.62 |
Kaaramani | 0.29 |
Bitter gourd | 2.39 |
Ridge Gourd | 0.91 |
Winged Bean | 1.2 |
Beans | 3.1 |
Avarai | 1.51 |
Total | 47.92 |
the whole data is public. so go and check for yourself.
we also have a surplus of lettuce which we are not including as weighed produce.
since early feb, we have bought only around 2 kgs of onion and 1 kg of potato. so we have now a good sense of how this season works.
as it gets hotter we are hoping that the gourds (ash, snake, ridge, bitter, bottle) will start their production in april.

Wonderful to see the progress that you are making.
To take a wasted land and turn it to productivity with hard work, patience and love is to be admired and appreciated.
Keep it up and for now we will share your journey vicariously.
Would onion grow at point return?
I am guessing you already know about this, but in case it has not appeared in your radar:

Maybe a good option if you have plans to forest the hillside.
hey sriram nice going with the vegetables - your own food, house - what next, maybe keep some honey boxes with all the veg and fruit flowers around.

sc - it will and it is growing (we think) :-)
have seen the groasis before and although the hill is lush byitlsef, we do plan to eventually do some afforestation in the neighbouring unclaimed locations.
m - maybe. think that "honey belongs to bees" is a strong case to be explored and understood.
Me think, tomato belongs to tomato plant, no?
awesome!
we want you on facebook!!
Hey,
I have a message for the webmaster/admin here at csm-fanaa.blogspot.com.
Can I use some of the information from your blog post above if I give a link back to this website?
Thanks,
Peter
good to know.
peter - yes, please.
wian - no. nectar/honey is collected as bee-food for the winter period.
fruits etc., are for propagation of species.
