Slowly picking up growth.

It's time for first harvest.

Harvested, then cooked fresh with dal and served along with boiled rice for 5 people.
It was yummy !! The recipe will be published soon !

Following photo is taken after the harvest, let's see if this will grow more and when can we have the 2nd harvest??

In near future we are planning to grow in large scale (40 bags) and sell it commercially to local community.
