3 Generations In This House Grow 400 Plant Varieties, Including Potatoes In Vines #IndiaNEWS #Farming
Several found a unique way to pass time amid the pandemic induced lockdown — home gardening and growing organic vegetables. This could be in part due to a quest to find a hobby, and in part because of an increased focus on health and nutrition amid a global health crisis.
Part of this section of society that found solace and a healthy lifestyle right within the confines of their home is Surat-based Surti family. This family of five, spanning three generations, has utilised the lockdown period to expand their garden at home.
Subhash Surti, along with his father Harishchandra, wife Raksha, and two children, grows 15 medicinal plants, almost every seasonal vegetable, eight varieties of fruits, and several flowering plants. In total, there are more than 400 trees and plants in this house.
“While I have been growing plants around the house for a long time, everyone in my family, including my children, started to lend a hand only when the pandemic arrived. Many of our neighbours have also taken to the activity in their own homes,? says Subhash.
The true sense of magic comes from a special item in this home garden potato in vines.
Three generations of home gardeners
Usually, potatoes are grown underground. However, this peculiar variety, brought from a mountain area, took almost two years before it yielded a decent harvest, he says.
Subhash completed a one-week course on terrace gardening from Surat Krishi Vigyan Kendra, where he picked up the technical know-how, proper potting techniques, knowledge about seasonal farming, and more.
He says that because the family has limited space around the house, they grow plants on the courtyard and terrace. “We bought this house 15 years back and have been engaged in gardening ever since. We try to grow at least 30 per cent of the vegetables required for our own daily use,? he explains.
