growing Tomatoes

Hi,I am back blogging about my newly grown tomato plants.They are happy and flourishing on the terrace in a rectangular pot with a depth of 6 inches.Tomatoes are easy to grow and flourish well in Mumbai.They need a well fertilized soil and watering daily.They also love sunlight and lots of TLC.I already have baby green tomatoes which will give me a crop of a kilo of fresh home grown ripe tomatoes within a few days.My tomatoes are used for salads with home grown spinach and home grown cucumbers mixed with a teaspoon apple cider vinegar and black salt.Tastes yum and the teaspoon cider is good for diabetics.Healthy and tasty.A teaspoon of cider vinegar taken before a meal also help diabetic patients lower their diabetes

                                Fresh cucumber and fresh tomatoes growing in my terrace garden.

Sorry i have not blogged for a long time,but today i have to write about the common neem leaves which have helped to bring diabetes under control.Here is the health drink that i would suggest,first thing in the morning:One karela,three twigs of curry patta,eight twigs of neem leaves,to this add a glass of water and switch on the mixer on high till the mixture is smooth and green.Strain and gulp it down.Mmmm...it is bitter but very healthy and cleanses your body of all toxins.So try this drink and do let me know the good results.

Growing lady fingers is very easy.Buy the seeds from a reputed shop plant the seeds directly in the pot which is filled with pot-o-mix and leave them in the shade till the plant is strong and healthy.Light yellow flowers will appear within a month or two.When the flowers fall green lady fingers will grow.Pluck them when they are small and tender as they tend to become big and thick and not fit to eat.Enjoy and do give me a feed back.
