Grow some of your own food. It's not as hard as you think.
We've been running a little kitchen-garden store in Socorro, Goa since 2009. We also teach workshops, set up gardens for people, and help with the weird stuff — why are my radishes forked? We have thoughts.

"I have no idea what I'm doing."
Browse workshopsStart with a beginner workshop. Two or three hours, some soil under your fingernails, and you'll leave with a plan for your specific space and a seed starter kit.

"I just need seeds and soil."
Visit the storeOur store has open-pollinated seeds, organic potting soil, compost, herbal sprays that actually work, pots in every size, and tools that last.

"Please just set it up for me."
See our servicesWe design kitchen gardens — backyards, terraces, balconies, restaurants — and coach you through your first full season. You'll soon find you don't need us anymore.
A tomato you grew yourself tastes unreal.
In the best way. A supermarket tomato is bred to survive trucks, stack well, and look consistent. Yours might be a bit lopsided, possibly cracked, and taste like something your grandmother would recognise.
You don't have to grow everything — nobody does. But a few pots of herbs, a patch of salad leaves, a handful of chillies changes what lands on the plate. It's also surprisingly fun. We've had six-year-olds refuse store brinjal after one season of growing their own.

What's going in the ground right now
May is prep-time for the coming rains in the gardening calendar for the Konkan coast. The monsoon will soon be here. It goes from being hot-and-dry to hot-and-wet. If you do one thing this month, gather dry leaves and mulch your soil well. If you have some more time, sow bhindi, brinjal and chilli seeds. They will be big enough by the times the rains hit and won't get battered in the deluge. They will also produce right through the rains.
