Lockdown 🔐 special. Grow own food and improve health.
We were out of State. March last week we got back. Some initial preparation in land was needed including daily irrigation and weeding. Managed to sow the spinach seeds on 4th April. On 4th May did the first harvest as part of thinning. Lot of other leafy veggies are with us like Moringa, taro, sambar Cheera etc. Planned a snack for tea. Aloo Spinach cutlet. It is common snack. Home grown spinach is the thrill. Homestead gardening really inspire to decide the ingredients in our food. For us we are so happy to have a better choice in our plates. It is amazing to grow veggies with our own efforts and the pride to share the healthy food. Here spinach, spring onion and coconut oil are our own products.
