Summer holidays for me always meant going to Nana’s house and gorging on especially picked and peeled fruits of the season. My Nana made it a point to bring for us a rainbow full of fruits, so right from the cool days of Feb and March to the crazy heat of May and June, we’d get to experience one by one all the summer fruits (it was like meeting a parade of magical friends one after the other!)

The season would start with the shy but beautiful rose apples or love apples and then go on to the stronger flavours of mango, jackfruit, jamun and more. Following these would be the northern wonders of peaches, khurmanis, plums and cherries and then the favourite of one and all - the Lichi!!

My love for summer fruits continues as I find new, local, summer favourites- like Karvanda, passion fruit, mangosteen and rambutans! Somehow the love apples still maintain their post at the top of my list of favs!

Which one of these takes you straight back to childhood summers? ☀️

What began as a strong belief in Nature’s wisdom has grown into a journey of food forests, kitchen gardens, 800+ workshops, and 6,000+ people learning to grow their own food and more. 🌱

As I’ve personally been transitioning from urban farming to the countryside, Edible Gardens too will be entering a new chapter..

Growing food in a multitude of spaces, brewing soil and sharing DIYs, the journey continues with a few upgrades..I’ll be sharing updates on this soon :)🩷🌿

Welcoming June at the farm with these farm fresh delights :)
It’s always so fascinating that the sweetest of fruits and veggies manage to thrive at the peak of summer, somehow the farm beings seem to take the heat on as a challenge, brining out the sweetest produce yet.. isn’t that just magical?

And absolutely nothing goes waste of this king of fruits - the pineapple - the skin goes into making a nutrition dense bio enzyme for the plants (I’ll share a post on this soon), the tops go back into the earth with a promise of fruit within a year and the fleshy delicious fruit within to be shared with everyone :)

Can we all go back to this life all day long pretty please?

Your kitchen waste is secretly a garden upgrade. 🌱

Every fruit peel, tea leaf, and eggshell has the potential to become nutrient-rich compost instead of ending up in the bin.

Save this post and start turning everyday scraps into black gold for healthier plants and richer soil. ♻️✨

Comment COMPOST below and we’ll send you our beginner-friendly composting guide straight to your DMs.

For me it will always be this mulberry 💜

This was just perfect!

So many beautiful moments at the Summer Science Experiments with Nature counter at the Bandra Farmers’ Market today :)

Adults walking up to chat about making gold from garbage for their plant babies, summer project ideas discussed amongst kids, the always excited expressions of kids when they see earthworms emerging out of soil (I love earthworms said one!), Parents making mental notes from my games at the counter of creative ways to engage their wards, recently retired folk smiling from ear to ear realising they can start this new project at home - loved every single anecdote collected today, thank you so much for coming and being a part of our first ever Summer Science with Nature!

Just as I was leaving, a mother of two kids said to me, ‘They are so excited about composting now!’ I said, ‘Oh I’m sorry if that adds to your list of things to do (I apologised knowing only too well how over-worked Moms are!) but then she said ‘Oh no no, we’ve been composting for a while but these kids were not interested. But now, after seeing your science experiment, they want to start doing it too!’

As you can imagine, that made me the Happiest!!

And to everyone who took their first batch of fresh compost home, know that you’ve adopted a billion+ house pets, all living in the compost - from earthworms to so many more of the creatures visible and not visible to the human eye! So make sure you give them a good home in your house plants :)

Thank you so so much to .co.in for making this happen! We will definitely do more of these soon.

Love,
Diipti💚

P.s: leaving you with a last clip of me munching on my most favourite summer fruit - the rose apple. Have you tried it? It’s available in abundance at local fruit vendors this season and such an excellent hydrator - must try.

Meanwhile at the farm, the wild ones are in full bloom, especially my most precious Mahua friend!
The colour of these fresh Mahua leaves reminds me of my most favourite MAC shade - Lady Danger😄
And the flowers! Uff!
Everyone finds it hard to believe that these flowers are edible and super succulent, sweet and tender when fresh, and it becomes like a little chewy jujube when dry. So we are currently in the process of sun-drying these beauties and will be bringing them to the Bandra Farmers’ Market for you to sample soon!

P.S: I make a Choco-Mahua cake that comes out quite yum, I’ll bring that too. Come and try 😋

P.p.s: I was curious to see if there were any regional songs dedicated to the mystical Mahua tree (and while I found many Bhojpuri tracks referencing to getting drunk over romance - WHY?? You ask😅 because most locals only know it to be used for making alcohol😬) I found this beautiful track that celebrates the many magical facets of women - Here’s a little about it I sound online “Maguva Maguva” celebrates the greatness and depth of women, exploring the multifaceted nature of womanhood through lyrics penned by Ramajogaiah Sastry.

Isn’t that just beautiful!

Love,
Diipti

We have a community in Bandra, that has been nurturing the organic food movement, healing through foods now for close to two decade (17 years to be precise). I’ve always shared so much about it here but I wanted to capture its essence in one frame - so I’ve taken AI’s help to give you a glimpse of the vibe.

This is how it feels like, community, joy, nature, happy bright summers, all of it - every Sunday at the Original Bandra Farmers’ Market .co.in by .mukhi! And as the summer holidays are around the corner, I’ll be setting up these Nature Science Experiment counters at the market - where you’ll get to experience the magic of Nature, we’ll learn about so so many fun experiments starting this Sunday. So do join in💚
P.s: no signup required, just turn up between 9am-12noon 🍃

Yet another sign that the land is becoming a Nurturer again♥️

This is the only picture I clicked on my last visit to the farm. Most of my time there goes in hands-on work, feeding the soil, getting systems in place and so on. But when I spotted these eggs - I had to stop everything and just take in the sign!

We hear so much about what chemicals do to fertile land, how trees are being chopped across the globe.. but do we really know what happens there after?

Barren land is parched, dehydrated, with its vegetation gone and top soil eroded. There is no flora or fauna around, so no source of food and hence all the living species slowly exit the land in search of proverbial greener pastures.

But when the same land begins to rewild - ie when it gets the ability to hold water and soil, grow wild ones (because the seeds from the past are already there, lying dormant) that’s when the reptiles and birds start showing up.

At first they’ll scout around, see what’s available and whether it’s even viable. But when all the criteria are met, they do something that makes the land so happy - they build a nest!

When a Mama decides to lay eggs in a piece of land, ancestors have said that’s the biggest sign of the land beginning to heal itself! And just seeing those eggs - some were cracked open so some of the babies had clearly already hatched - just that was such a heartwarming sight and sign!

I am still cautiously optimistic, as healing a piece of land has at-least a 10-year horizon, and we are in year 3 now.. with climate change, human intervention, a lot can be harmed or healed..

But for now, this is a wonderful sign and I couldn’t be happier!
