Matrikunj, the Organic Farm

Matrikunj, the Organic Farm:

It has been quite long that I have shared anything in my blog. Many friends had asked me to start again. A lot of things have happened in the last year and among them, one good thing was my exposure to Matrikunj Organic Farm near Oussudu Lake owned by Sri Aurobindo Society. I will write more about the various initiatives in Matrikunj later but would like to share some beautiful images from Matrikunj for you..

Fresh home grown tomatoes...

We have been reading a lot about organic farming and the merits of it. But when I grew my own tomatoes in my garden in pots, I knew for myself the difference between vegetables brought from the market and those grown without any chemicals. The most notable difference was in the fragrance of tomatoes. Now I have bitter gourd, chillies of various colours and tastes etc.


With just three pots of chillies, I dont buy chillies at all. And I have year-long availability of chillies!. My chilly plants are now two years old and still they yield. I prune them once a while and use the vegetable peels in my home as the manure.

May be I would slowly try out other vegetables as well.
