Farm update February 2020

Farm update

The prices of the vegetables including bottle gourd decreased. Few resources say it's due to coronavirus. Thus, no exports or imports.

Bottle gourd price decreased to 60 RS per bag. The arrival of bottle gourd to Retail vegetable market also increased. Would not able to sell a bag to 60 RS in local markets.

Seed Saving

This February saved Brinjal and Okra seeds.

Extracting Brinjal (green) seeds will take long time. Need patience. The seeds will be sticky. Often add some water to your hands while extracting. After extracting the seeds, dry them under the shade. After drying, take a seed and try to break. If it is brittle, you are ready to save it in a bottle. If it does not breaks easily, you still need to dry under the shade. This variety is a drought tolerant. Planted 2 feet sapling on September 2018, still yielding but low in quantity. Found this sapling nearby the farm. At beginning, it took more time for yielding.



Saving the Okra (white purple) seeds is easy. See the okra plants, if any okra is dried, yo can pluck it and save in bottle. It can also be grown under shade. We grown this variety under bottle gourd shade. This variety is drought tolerant. It can grow to the maximum height of 4 to 5.5 feet.



Both the seeds are available for seed swap. Both are native varieties. So, only native varieties for swap. Kindly message us through the FB messenger at the top right corner of the website, if you are in desktop mode or visit contact us page to message us.
