Organic Kitchen Gardening and my personal musings 
Thanks, Raj, for showing us the wonderful Lalbagh output. Renews my passion for veg gardening. I will go tomorrow and pick up some seeds and other stuff.
you are welcome Jeane. Yup from time to time I too need some boosters for the veggie gardening and this show is just perfect for that.

Raja
Hey Raj,

Natti
Oh my God! this is splendid!!
i hope this veggies show is still on this weekend… can’t wait to get there…
Thanks for the post Raj!
Wish you good luck š
Hello Raja,
Wonderful pics… I am going there today!!
Hey Raja,
What is DAP. Is urea organic? And is Cocopeat still available in Lalbagh. Whenever I go there they are out of stock.
Natti
Hi Natti,
DAP stands for Di-ammonium phosphate. So, it’s not organic and neither is urea. But am not going to use them for my kitchen garden. It’s meant for my small patch of grass lawn.
Yes coco-peat was available at 1-2 shops at the show. I bought one small brick for my seed starting needs. It cost my rs. 30/-.
Regards
Raja
Hi….Really great pictures and garden…You have such a huge variety…
Hi Raj,
Nice pictures. I too went ther ethis Monday. Got some manures and seeds. Well, can we add DAP for the flowering plants? What is Bone meal and where do we get it? What is its use? Looking forward to your part 2 post.

Sumathy
Hi Sumathy,
Yes we can give DAP to flowering plants too.
Bone meal in simple terms is crushed bone of different animals. It comes from slaughter house. In nature as different animals die and get buried in the soil, they enrich the soil by the way decomposition of their body. But in a controlled environment like kitchen garden we can use the bone as a substitute.
Will post the part 2 soon š

Raja
raja – why urea and DAP for grass?
even tho it is not for the veggies, it doesnt fit with what you are doing…
love,

Hi Raj:
Lovely photos. I could not attend the show this time but your pictures showed me what I had missed!
Taking cues from your experience, I am growing beans with success now. I got the seeds from Lal Bagh and got nearly 100% germination rate. I have harvested 2 kg so far.
Also, there are huge yellow pumpkins sitting majestically on the trellis in my terrace. The skin of these giants is dark green in color ā not the yellow skinned ones I saw in your pictures (may be they are hybrid variety) . They weigh between 8-10 kg and are very, very yellow , inside. They are also not too demanding at all, except for the huge , horizontal space requirements.
Any idea where one can get the seeds of those long snake gourd variety , in Bangalore, which you have captured in the pictures? I have been trying in vain to get them, for the last 6 months …
Thanks and Regards

its been a loooooooong intermission! Time for Part II š
Thanks to your inspiring blog, I had harvested my veggies today . I grew them on the terrace with minimum soil and used organisc fertilisers and pesticides, as far as possible.
Whenever I was in doubt I was referring to your blog and GG’s and some others. Thanks to all of you, I have confidence to go ahead.

wonderful pictures!
Raj, these examples of pot vegetable gardening is so inspiring! thanks for sharing!
What a very impressive post. I am glad for the share. Now that you mention it, I guess I should allocate a space for hoe test. I really don’t have one. Wow its a very good post. The information provided by you is really very good and helpful for me. Keep sharing good information..
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything.
Nevertheless imagine if you added some great graphics or videos to
give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics
and video clips, this site could undeniably be one of the best
in its field. Fantastic blog!
