Hello Indira,

I have been visiting ur blog since a very long time for some recipes. I have a question regarding the beerakaaya plant. What kind of soil have you used for beerakaaya. Coz my beerakaaya is little on yellowish shade and flowering already when all it has is about 15 leaves on it. Please advice.

Thank you.
Sree

Also, if you have any tips in making kids eat, pl. share those tips/recipes too.

Thanks beautiful people for your lovely garden notes.

Random Gardener: Loved looking at your garden harvest photos.
About turai, I planted the seeds in April, so about four months. For our vine plants, it’s best to plant atleast a couple of plants for both male and female flower production and successful fruiting.

Dear Mona: no, so far.
I will. Thanks.

Chaaya: I have written about a post about homemade vine support last year. You can find it in Garden Log archives.
