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.
