Busy Week

We started dry planting this week, we planted all the Green grams (Mung beans) plus half the Desi chickpeas.
Last night we had 30mm of rain and today at midday I dug up this Green Gram and found it had a small shoot after only 18 hours of moisture. (Well done little fella)
We will hopefully plant the remaining area of Desi and Kabuli chickpeas over the next week to 10 days depending on weather. You can click on the photo to get a better look.

Planting 2018 started

We started planting Mung beans this week.
We are planting into dry top soil, although we have good moisture from around 20 cm to 1 meter deep. Hopefully the long rains arrive in good time.
