Organic Gardening

It gives me immense pride to share a simple hobby cultivated and inspired during the COVID-19 times.

It started during the months when we are all staying indoors, embargo announced and supply of fresh vegetables were limited. Some of my favorite herbs like coriander, curry leaves, mint which I practically use in all my meals, would not last you long. They would turn black and it would hurt to throw them.

After some research on google I discovered a fantastic way of storing coriander, mint and curry leaves. Very simple, for coriander, cut the stem wrap it in a tissue paper and store it in an airtight box in the refrigerator. The magic was that it stayed fresh for at least 2 weeks. Similarly wrap the mint and curry leaves in a tissue paper and store in the fridge.

The tissue paper helps absorb the moisture and enables the leaves to stay fresh longer.

However to ensure continuous supply of these essential herbs I grew some of them at home. Basil, Curry leaves and Mint. Low maintenance, just daily supply of water and sunlight. Hope to grow the organic garden with more herbs and vegetables..

Plant yours and share your experience…

Reduce Reuse Recycle

Whenever you want to acquire some positive energy, visit Dr. Priya.  Right from the moment you step into her clinic along with her amazing consultation you will leave the premise with a changed aura.

During one such visit I was admiring her little nursery at her clinic when she gave me this lovely Aloe Vera plant which is an offspring of her Aloe Vera plant.  This plant was in a plastic container which was formerly used to store Homeopathy medicines, and now transformed as a home for the Aloe Vera plant.

I decided to beautify the new abode of the Aloe Vera offspring instead of getting a new fancy pot for it.

Here’s my little step to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Plastic… What’s yours? Let’s get our creative minds at work, share our stories and implement our experiences to Save Mother Nature..
