Permaculture update

Pasalai Keerai

We planted the stems after making saag. This one has survived the daily treadings of cows. :-) I wonder if we would ever get to pluck any of its leaves for cooking. Either mom has to put up the fence or the cows and goats have to spare few leaves for us. :-)

Ponnakanni Keerai

Supposed to be good for eyes.

Pudhina



Curry Leaves (Karuvepu illai)

These ones are simply growing wildly all over. I have to walk carefully, so that i don't step on them accidentally. Very good for hair and eyes.

Ara Nellika (Amla)

Ascorbic acid. This along with the lemon tree nearby gives me my daily dose of vitamin C. After drinking lukewarm water of lemon juice with honey on empty stomach, rubbing the left over lemon on skin purifies the skin and makes it glow.
