Leafy Leaks On Kitchen Window


During pandemic every bit of food item is precious. Especially, fresh green vegetables... Here is how I grew leaks from the cut out stump we normally throw out. All you need is patience, water & preferably kitchen window sill or Florescent light would be fine. 

Note the roots & the growth above the cut end of stump, almost a foot after 1&1/2 weeks. You can use it to flavor your soup of if you prefer, you can plant it in a pot. it can provide you regular size leaves and even flower and bear seeds to expand your garden

Cucumber Pest



Pest control the organic way.... Diligent checking of the leaf undersides & removal by hand (tissues) & applying Neem powder to affected leafs & pinched stalks. The bugs were carefully wrapped in tissues & flushed in toilet, Good Bye!

Organic Harvest

Every little effort counts.... 
One little produce harvested 
though may have a worm hole - is worth every bite in gold!!!

My Rumi's Shams

And to you, my mentor
For freeing me from doubt, like a breeze
To trust and let the words flow
Filling the empty spaces, from my soul
Like that divine intervention of Shams
Freed relentless mystic verses out of Rumi
The flame you roused in my soul
Will dance unhindered

Farewell

To Sally:

This is no Good bye
For you are never far away
From my thoughts!
