Palak / Indian Spinach was the first thing i sowed in my coco peat roof top garden bags. First seeds were laid on 1-Mar-2015 in 3 bags.
I got the first harvest on 26-Mar-2015 and the second one on 9-Apr-2015. After that i destroyed the plant and prepared the soil for next fresh cycle.
This photo here was taken just before the second harvest.
The above photo also shows 3 other bags, which is "Siru Keerai" (Tamil) - Amaranthus Tricolor / Tropical Amaranthus. This, I harvested in 20 days from sowing the seed and did the second harvest after 12 days from the first.
Here's an article showing some great nutritional values of Tropical Amaranthus.
Palak and Keerai (Amaranthus) varieties are going to be home grown in "many" bags and will be distributed in local community from June - 2015.
