There is an old saying: Kumbhathil nattal Kudatholam..!!
Kumbha Masam which is running now is a hot summer month. But it is very favourable for Vegetable cultivation and hence the old people has this saying. It is tried and tested..and they even say that if it rains in Kumbham, you will find veggies growing even from garbage.
So it happened. I sowed the seeds on Feb 14th (Kumbha Masam) and it rained that night and the next two days... Now the seeds have germinated and I am eager to see them growing.
I have seeds from our own Thrissur Agricultural University and also from TNAU, Coimbatore.
Brinjal, Ladies Finger, Spinach, Cucumber, Ash Gourd, Chilli, Amaranth, Tomato etc.
The enemies have already started their campaign. I have to go on war footing...to ward off the flies, insects, pests and rodents.
