My husband prefers to call himself an urban farmer. As you are aware from my previous post ‘Time we grow our own food‘ that his grandfather was a farmer by profession who grew everything in his farmland. However, his uncles migrated to the cities and now they have sold most of the farmlands. Only few orchards remain. My man somehow retained the genetic love for growing plants and keep experimenting on our small balcony. Earlier he grew Brinjal (eggplant), bitter gourd, tomatoes, green chillies but this time he got real adventurous and grew this staple crop.
Any guesses??????
This is Paddy. Linking this to Parul’s #ThursdayTreeLove
Paddy in pots? WOW! May be this is all sings that we are very close to the era where we can eat only if we cultivate something in our own home 😉

Wow that is really ambitious! And interesting. I wish I had a garden. In our building we are not allowed to keep plants at all. Miss my childhood garden where I had so many plants that I used to tend to.

It looks a little bit like ginger but I am going to guess rice. I live in the United States and used to live in a state that is a major rice producer (Arkansas) I’ve never seen the plants that close up, though.

Wow. That’s really ambitious and amazing. In the current scenario, it’s better to grow our own food indeed if it’s possible. And I’m glad that your husband has already advanced so much
