Maca-Lepidium meyenii seeds from Kashmir

Maca-Lepidium meyenii is a tough and tolerant plant. Maca can survive in poor soils, wind, flooding, drought, cold temperatures, and even surprisingly warm temperatures (into the upper 80's at least).
Maca seeds India

Maca root powder is noted for being invigorating, strengthening and slightly 
bitter tasting. The effect of maca has been compared to that of ginseng 
(Panax ginseng). It is said to improve performance and memory while 
also making it easier to cope with stressful situations. 

Traditionally, maca is used as an aphrodisiac and to increase fertility 
in men and women. The effects of black and red maca powder 
differ : while black maca is very beneficial for memory, fatigue and 
fertility issues, red maca can help benign prostatic hyperplasia and 
osteoporosis. Like all brassicas, maca contains mustard oils that have 
an antimicrobial effect. Like green and black tea, maca also contains 
antioxidants that protect cells against free radicals. Maca tea, baked 
goods made with maca as well as pure maca powder capsules are not 
only energizing but also have many other positive effects on the body.

Ferula-Heeng cultivation in Cold desert of Kashmir

 

Heeng seeds

It’s native to Turkmenistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kashmir,Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan and is a bit smaller than some other species. It only grows to about three feet tall.
Ferula grows best in a cold, arid, sunny climate. While it’s a fussy plant, in the right climate, it will hunker down and stubbornly grow (and spread) without any interference from us.
But when the weather takes a turn that these plants don’t like, they go dormant. That’s why they grow so slowly.
It’s an ongoing cycle of dormancy, resurgence, dormancy, and resurgence. But if you can manage the environment as best you can, you can speed things up.
Asafetida needs full sun, but it doesn’t like heat. Don’t be tempted to grow it in partial shade to keep it cool. It actually needs full sun.
In the wild, you’ll find most species growing in sandy or loamy soil in full sun.
The quickest way to get rid of asafetida is to plant it somewhere with heavy, poorly-draining soil. Your soil should have a pH around 6.5 to 7.5.
Remember, your ferula won’t die, it will just go dormant in adverse conditions. That means it will stop growing, or it might even die back temporarily. The more often the plant goes dormant, the longer it takes to mature.

Kiwi fruit production in Kashmir

Kiwi or Chinese gooseberry (Actinidia deliciosa) is grown widely in New Zealand, Italy, USA,China, Japan, Australia, France, Pakistan, Iran, Kashmir, Chile and Spain.


kiwi garden Kashmir

Kiwi is mostly grown in the mid hills of Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, J & K, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh,Karnataka,Uttarakhand  and Kerala.  Having been very newly introduced in the country estimates of area and production have not yet become available.

Probably because they aren't mostly grown locally in India. They have to be imported. Import means taxes, more transportation charge, and higher risk of damage. All this leads to higher prices.

Kiwi fruit plant varieties cultivated in India are AbbottAllisonBrunoHaywardMonty and Tomuri.

Kiwi vine starts bearing at the age of 4-5 years while the commercial production starts at the age of 7-8 years. The fruits mature earlier at lower altitude and later at high altitudes because of variation in temperature. Large sized berries are harvested first while smaller ones are allowed to increase in size. After harvesting, the fruits are rubbed with a coarse cloth to remove stiff hairs found on their surface. Hard fruits are transported to the market. Subsequently, they lose their firmness in two weeks and become edible. Kiwi plant

Since kiwi is a dioecious plant, it bears pistillate and staminate flowers separately. Commercially grown important pistillate and staminate cultivars are:

Abbott : This is an early flowering and early maturing cultivar. The oblong, medium sized, fruits are covered with dense hairs. They are very sweet in taste with lower ascorbic acid content and medium titratable acidity.

Allison : Fruits resemble those of Abbott, except that these are slightly broader in proportion to its length. The petals of its flowers are overlapping and crimped along with margins. It is an early ripening, heavy bearer and sweet in taste. Ascorbic acid and titratable acidity are on the lower side. This variety is most suited for Himachal Pradesh.

Bruno : This cultivar requires comparatively less chilling period. The fruits are tapering in shape towards the stem end. They are longest among all the cultivars. The fruits is dark brown having very dense, short and bristly hair, highest in ascorbic acid and titratable acidity. The bearing is very heavy.

Hayward : Most popular cultivar or the world, Hayward is comparatively shy bearer with a tendency of biennial bearing. The fruit is broad and flat, being much wider in relation to length. It is superior in flavour with high sugar and ascorbic acid content. It requires comparatively more chilling hours.

Monty : It is a late flowering cultivar but fruit maturity is not late. The fruits are oblong, resembling those of Abbot and Allison. Being a highly prolific bearer cultivar, sometimes it needs hand thinning for obtaining good sized fruits. The fruit is somewhat wider towards blossom end with higher acidity and medium sugar content.

Tomuri : It is a good pollenizer for Hayward and Monty, the late flowering kiwis. Flowers appear usually in groups of 5. Allison : It is also used for pollenizing different cultivars.

Comfrey plant

Benefits of Comfrey plant

Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but for those who prefer to slow the clock down a bit, the answer to your aging skin care problems may be found in the garden.

Scientists have recently discovered that a compound found in the common comfrey plant helps keep the skin youthful and less susceptible to the formation of wrinkles.

Comfrey is a native of Europe and its growth is largely unnoticed. This purple plant grows in moist, grassy areas near fields, in ditches and on riverbanks. It is not surprising then that comfrey has spread throughout the British Isles.

Surprisingly, this seemingly humble plant can actually do more for your skin than you ever thought any humble plant could.

The comfrey plant contains several beneficial compounds that help rejuvenate tired, aged, wrinkled skin.

Comfrey, when used regularly on the skin, makes it softer, more supple and elastic. Even skin with large pores can benefit from this… This care is so beneficial for the skin that wrinkles can be prevented from forming at an early age. -

Recent research by the University of Liverpool has confirmed that comfrey contains anti-aging properties which they hope will reveal 'longevity' effects.

These properties are believed to be the result of a compound known as allantoin, which is found within the roots that produce comfrey.
A thick substance produced by all plants.

The Secret Inside Comfrey That Benefits Your Skin
Allantoin is the key to beautiful, youthful-looking skin because of its ability to perform skin care wonders.

Reduces inflammation: The compound allantoin is considered valuable in the medicinal world. It is already used in many creams to help treat painful skin conditions, such as nappy rash, windburn, scrapes and cuts. This is due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Emollients : Allantoin also acts as an emollient. It is a moisturizing treatment that helps create a protective film on skin cells, reducing dehydration.

Acts as a keratinolytic: In skin care products, allantoin helps to moisturize and soften the skin and acts as a keratinolytic.

Keratinolytics soften keratin, a tough, elastic protein found in the outer layer of skin. By softening keratin, allantoin allows the skin to retain water better. It makes it moist, soft and better hydrated. Keratinolytics allow the outermost layer of skin cells to be shed more easily, leaving a smooth, hydrated and refined complexion.

Keratinolytics allow the outer layer of skin cells to shed more easily, creating smoother, moisturized and improved skin texture.

Other beneficial compounds found in the comfrey plant include:

Tannins: They are defensive compounds that protect the plant. They can also protect our skin from bacteria and environmental toxins by drawing out impurities and encouraging healing.

Rosmarinic Acid: Has antioxidant effects and helps protect skin from UV damage.

A Brief History of Comfrey
The comfrey plant has been used for medicinal purposes for over 2000 years. The earliest recorded use of comfrey as a traditional, herbal remedy can be traced back to the ancient Greeks in 400BC.

Comfrey was traditionally used to heal broken bones. In fact, the name comfrey comes from the Latin word Confervere which means 'to join together, to fix or fix'.

Regenerative compounds found in comfrey, such as allantoin, tannis and rosmarinic acid, help stimulate natural cell turnover and encourage new tissue growth.

Ensuring skin is kept hydrated is extremely important when fighting the signs of aging, as hydration helps plump skin and leaves a dewy glow.

Nature Facts About Comfrey
Comfrey is a herbaceous plant that belongs to the borage family.
Flowering time of comfrey is May to June.

Some comfrey species have cold-resistant bacteria, so they can thrive and survive in freezing temperatures.

There are about 25 species of comfrey native to Europe and Asia.
Comfrey cultivation started 2500 years ago.

in short
Overall, comfrey is beneficial for all skin types. It helps to moisturize and soothe dry, irritated skin, promotes rapid growth of skin cells, contributes to skin renewal, protects against bacteria and other microorganisms, reduces inflammation and Helps to keep healthy.

Use a comfrey moisturizer.
Most skin care creams contain a small amount of allantoin. However, many cosmetic companies use dried herbs and plants as a cheap way to make skin creams.
