the winter season will hopefully keep on for its usual course till late february.
most of it is self-explanatory.
the variety is wide, but some of the exotic/leafy vegetables are in small patches only.
1. red long bean - from deepika/bernard (auroville)
2. radish-carrot bed (both likely to be hybrid varieties)
close up of item 2..
3. chakara kumbhala - yellow pumpkin: from janadanya
4a. potato bed 1
4b. potato bed 2
5. ridge gourd: from janadanya
6. bitter gourd: a hybrid variety, but it is in its second generation and soon the yellow one will yield seeds for the third generation.
7. pak choy (chinese greens)
8. lettuce: unknown parentage - from a friend
9. mixed spinach/arai and siru keerai: seeds from madurantakam seed shop
10. cabbage: hybrid
11. brinjal: from deepika/bernard (auroville)
12. beans - hybrid
13. tomato: hybrid
14. winged bean - from deepika/bernard (auroville)
15. sweet potato
16. creeper spinach - pasalai keerai
in addition, we have just planted some exotic varieties of beans (from deepika), snake gourd, ash gourd, bottle gourd and lots of cow pea.

Wow ! Lovely ! Cheers ! I just started test planting !
That's a lot of hard work. Good job.
Love love love seeing all your beautiful vegetables and butterflies. I can't help but wonder how you prepare them (the beans, not the wings). Maybe there will be a point return cookbook one of these days? And what if, when you prepare your meals, you take a few shots? Or something right out of the fire, or sitting ready to eat? Ahhhh....what a pleasure to see that!
wow that's pretty good variety - what about seeds from annadana also from auroville - they have good package deal. do you spray panchgavya or amirit pani anything else ???

carolyn - the winged variety was prepared on the same lines as the regular market beans and they turned out pretty tasty. yes, a recipes post may be possible. we need a person to do that :-)
m - i missed out listing peas and okra and flat beans ;-)
sid has done some sporadic spraying of panchagavya.
