The Magic Bean

Sustainable organic growing. Permaculture - Nature's Way

Radish in the school garden. Todays lesson in transplanting. Gave a pack of seeds to the kids and they planted it all together - so today was about thinning and separating. #schoolsmustgarden #seedtotable #organic #younggardeners #kidscangrow

Hope your Sunday is super! Loved this Alfred Austin quote. And gardeners we live it.

That time of year when I climb a ladder to cut bunches of these flowers and stuff them into vases!
Tree jasmine or mara mali! Stand under a tree late in the evening for an intoxicating experience #localandseasonal #flowers #trees #jasmine

Mushrooms in the soil are a celebration of a permaculture garden- showing that plant matter is decaying well. Here are mushrooms thriving in my post of basil saplings.

Two in one. A butterfly pea vine has wrapped itself around the okra plant. Is there a battle? #localandseasonal #organic #terracegarden #okra #urbangarden #bluepeaflower

Happy Sunday! The weather is perfect to enjoy my garden in my part of the world. Enjoy the process.

The mustard-like greens on my terrace have bolted. These pretty and very tasty flowers and tons of tiny 🐝. It's like watching a musical!

What the centre of a lemon grass plant looks like - dropped the camera right inside the bush! And my camera and hands had a faint smell of oils. #terracegarden #urbangarden #organicgardening

Red amaranth readying for harvest. It's like eating a bowl full of health. I grow it in an old bathtub.

Butterfly buffet. The delicate purple flowers of the nochi tree which all varieties of butterfly love to feast on. These dense trees also attract sun birds and koels. The leaves have medicinal properties.

The magic bean. Not sure what variety I planted but I will know soon!

Kashayam in the making. Cuban oregano (karpuravalli) with butterfly pea flower (the peeping tom purple shankupushpam) makes a great rainy weather tea. Add a dash of like to see the colours change! #localandseasonal #ageoldremedies #nativeherbs

Happy Sunday. Today is dedicated to Carpets of white. Delicate flowers. Intensely Fragrant. The Maramalli or Tree jasmine in bloom.

Everyday brings surprises. Passion fruit from a vine gone wild in a school garden. #localandseasonal #growyourown #everyschooomustgarden
