Drought Broken

After 6 years of scanty rains due to failed monsoon in our area, finally we got a big rain. All the Tapovan crew were out enjoying the novelty.
Check out the video. Sanjay, our manager is giving a running commentary in Marathi language.

Our 3 months old turmeric crop

We planted this turmeric on 30th May. This photo was taken on 9th September. As you can see it has grown very well. We are expecting a very good harvest. Sanjay (left) and Deepak.

Planting our Organic Turmeric

Today we are planting our turmeric. First we have kept the planting material watered and in the shade. (Daytime temperatures of more than 45 degrees are common in May).

Now we are soaking the rhizomes in a mixture of our organic Biosol bio-enhancer together with ash from our Agnihotra Homa fires. Then we are planting them along the drip irrigation lines.

Organic Okra

This picture shows our wonderful Okra crop. It was more than 8 feet high in places.
