Organic Ginger grown in grow bags

The ginger grown in growbags were harvested last week. Will make some Puli inchi, Ginger pickled in Apple cider vinegar etc.

Malabar Chestnut first time harvest

We were waiting for this tree to bear fruit and eat it to know how it tastes like. The green nut similar to Badam nut but bigger in size was on the tree for 2 months and then cracked and fell down giving us these nuts similar to areacanut. Upon opening the shell, the kernel is similar to cashew nut and tastes like groundnut.

Broccoli Kale Spinach Cabbage Soup

Growing winter vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, kale etc in the tropical regions is a challenge. I manage it here in Ollur, Thrissur, Kerala, S. India for the last several years. I occasionally get to harvest it or I use the leaves for soup as you see here. This is today morning harvest and the temperatures for last several days were near 40 degrees. This soup has a pinch of turmeric only as an additive. Fully organic and healthy soup. You can add salt pepper etc. To your taste.I boiled the veggies for half an hour.
