We are thrilled to be harvesting our lovely organic monsoon veggies! We have kilos of kaddu (pumpkin), bhindi (okra), torai (ridge gourd), beans, and karela (bitter gourd). We are happily consuming them, but also trying to figure out how to save some for future months…
The most amazing thing to us is how LARGE and perfect looking everything is. The okra is fatter and longer than what we usually buy from the market. And we thought organic = small and stringy! Is that a complete myth?

We are finally planting our next batch of 350 trees, and are so happy to be getting back on schedule with those.
