A peek at some of the greenery that's abounding in my little green patch...
With the monkeys wanting to claim their share of vegetables from my patch, I've no choice but to concentrate on my greens and herbs. But, I'm enjoying every beautiful moment and having so much fun my greens harvesting them at all stages. And the best part is, getting innovative with the way I add them in the everyday diet...

There's a lot more greens and herbs I'd love to grow. But with my limited space, I have to be happy with whatever I can accommodate. At times, I have to completely stop growing a couple of particular greens to taste a new variety. But, whatever...! The upside is, I haven't bought any greens from the market in ages...


One of my favourites, Ajwain, making it's perky presence felt...





 Evergreen dill...

A new batch of potato plants that I am hilling.
Waiting eagerly to see what this lucky dip gifts me...
