Kitchen Garden

an attempt to see if bitter gourd can be grow in container on terrace.Not too sucessful only a couple of small ones have appeared unlike the large ones when sown in the ground.

              



                                                         Egg Plant ( Brinjal ) got just 1/2 a week

Tomatoe Yield from just 3 plants in pots












Green house for Vegetable saplings once they are 9/12 inches they are exposed to the blazing sun on the terrace as long as they are watered twice a day they seem to like it :)

Bitter gourd when planted in the ground are almost 4 times the size of the one in the container

Have not bought coconuts in the last one year 3 trees provide enough for the family ( Mallu - coconut lovers!) for the driver and a few for the neighbours too.





                                 Drumstick more for the leaves which make a good vegetable with rice and sambar though my daughter does not agree!

Green tomatoes with Dal make a tasty combination

                          Green chillie to add some spice to the Kuttu (the green tomato and Dal dish)

Bitter gourd gave a contious yield for six months or more before I had to replace them

Ladies Finger( Okra) and bitter gourd are the ones really competeing to see who yields more!
