Farmlog - week 3 updates

        This weekend too we managed to visit the farm and here are the updates. I must say, all the veggies are doing great and entire farm is turn green now. This time also visited the natural pond at the back of farm which is filled with the recent rains. Also got a chance to meet another fellow Farmizenian and we talked about the excitement  of good germination at his plot. You may follow my previous farmlog here " How we became community farmers " Meanwhile Farmizen had been posting exciting pictures of harvest from their various other farms and we cannot wait to see our day come soon :) These marigold (Zendu) flowers welcome us at the farm Green green all around Bottle gourd germination Baby Spinach at our plot Marigold saplings around the plot Tomatoes seem to be slightly affected by pests but sure it will fight back Deeweeding at progress This is random click of some junglee plant, it looks like cherry, but s

How we became community farmers!

     For past some days we were in search of ways to support our sustainable leaving goals and actively researching on community farming options here in Bangalore.        At home after most of my balcony garden plants and specially veggies became rodent and pigeon food, I still had not lost my hopes and still wanted to go ahead and grow our own fresh food.           That is when we landed with this platform called Farmizen! Though we did not find many reviews of Farmizen around, their social handles were showing good progress and so we thought of giving it a try. So two weeks back we registered on to Farmizen as community farmers with many like minded farmers. They have multiple plots per farm and the app gives you a lot of flexibility in choosing what you want to grow. On the other days the farmer takes care of your farm and you can plan visits and work around your farm on weekends. You also can see growth and harvest and other activities at your farm through the app.
