Yaayyyy, The Ragi has sprouted! The kids first spotted it and I was sligtly envious- I wanted to sight it first! , "I am bending closer to the plant, Pallavi" ! said an eleven year old who was helping weed and mulch! True, true , kiddo!. And am so proud ! Roshni tells me there were groans and moans a day before when she announced the plans to go to the farm the next day. We didn't give them a choice this time and took them all. We made some quick plans and roped in Swetha to do an hour of art with the kids. Could they sketch something? Could they make some postcards? Let's do a postcard from the farm workshop! Last minute message to parents to send a reminder for pencils and clipboards; I had some extra art paper; Swetha said yes and we all got excited. Apart from this our one hour work was cut out: we had to set up the scarecrows too; weed or not weed(!) and apply Jeevamruta.
The farm looked lovely and green. And now the scarecrows are up , the ragi is sprouting, the tuwar /arhar plants stand tall, and the heart is full. We made it so far! And we'll make it to the harvest!
