Here I am, with a thumb that is decidedly NOT green.

I live in a Mumbai flat (you guessed right about the space!)

I either over-water the hapless plants to the drowning point or forget about it.

When friends snip a bit of this herb or that veggie from their kitchen garden and add to their pots, I go positively green with jealousy.

Growing a kitchen garden is appreciating mother nature. After all, growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing are integral parts of our agrarian culture.
