Mangoes: King of fruits (Season is over)

My dear social friends, brothers and sisters ... 

Vanakkam, Namaste.

I trust everyone is doing well.. In this blog, I will share little about this year mango season. We had an average mango season this year.

In the previous blog, I shared few pictures of Mango flowers:

There are many varieties of mangoes available. What I have in farm are following varieties:

1. Kalapady

2. Alphonso

3. Banganapalli

4. Neelam

Kalapady - This is very sweet and small in size. Please try this out, if you get a chance. You may google out as well. This is not easy to get.

Alphonso & Banganapalli: This is very common and we will get in many places.

Neelam - This taste varies from soil to soil.

Raw Mangoes in all types - Rather than fruits, raw mangoes have lots of medicinal benefits:

Raw mangoes are rich in antioxidants, including lutein and zeaxanthin, which improve vision and eye health. Polyphenols (a group of powerful antioxidants) present in the raw mangoes reduce inflammation and decrease cancer risk. Green mangoes are rich in nutrients that promote collagen synthesis and improve skin health.

I recommend everyone to try out fresh raw mangoes... This is unique taste..

Coming to season... unlike previous years, we have severe drought this year. Water level is going down day by day and it is becoming tough to water the trees.  My farm workers go to farm very early in the morning i.e. around 5 am to water the trees.

 Global warming seems to be affecting everyone.  We are seeing unexpected peak summer this year.

Some more tree pictures with red soil...

Coming to the harvesting, I did lease out the entire process, which worked well, so that I could focus on other things.

Farming gives happiness, farming rejuvenates you.   Farming gives patience and healthy life...

 Alright! ...That'll about mangoes and this year mango season...

I will be working from USA for a short period of time. See you all in the next blog with "USA Life Experience"...  Going to be very different than farming blog... But, change is always good for a shorter period of time. :)

 OK, everyone. Thanks for reading. We will connect back in the next one with more USA experiences, if everything goes as per plans :)

Thank you, Take care.  

Nandri Vanakkam ! Dhanywad. !

Planted 100 Palm Trees (Palmyra palm tree or Panai Maram)... :)

 Hi Everyone -- I trust you, family and friends are doing well.  In this blog, I am going to share little bit about my diwali weekend activity. It was a good long weekend and it helped me to plan better. Let me add some value to our environment and society during this Diwali. Ok, what is it about? Planting Palm Trees : It is called "Panai Maram" in Tamil or Palmyra palm tree as per google.. :)  Here is the fruit from palm tree in raw form, it is called "Ice Apple". These days, people make juice (i.e. Nongu sarbath) from this and it is becoming very famous. I decided to plant around 100 trees. My day started at 5.30 am. Typically all farmers get up very early and they get into farms early. :).. Farmers work hard, farming is like serving to people.  We finished all the work by 2.00 pm. Along with Palm trees, I did plant many Neem trees too. Myself and folks working in farm, we started collecting all the palm seeds and packed in sacks. Unpacked in target place and sta

My dear social friends, brothers and sisters ...  Vanakkam, Namaste.  This blog is about my experience at the recent reunion that we had.... Special thanks to my friends! Tesla and all devices without recharge, or with no charge - it is called as ??. Recharge is important for human too :) Group of folks having titles varying from architects, strategists, delivery heads, C and mid-level executives, consultants etc, working for various Fortune-500 companies, having a habit of meeting every year. For what purpose? It was neither about strategy and market position nor about investment and financials.   Then, why do they meet? I decided to take few days off amidst my busy schedule and decided to join those folks this year, not to find out why, what etc… Just to hang around with those folks, as they are all my engineering batch mates...   This time, my friends organized get-together in Florida. They meet every year in USA, but for me this is the first time. I am going to meet many of my ba

Palm Trees Progress - Two leaves in two years.... (Panai Maram and Karupatti Kaapi)

Image
My dear social friends, brothers and sisters ...  Vanakkam, Namaste and good day!. Last month , I visited India and I will share the latest progress and latest experiences from farm. This blog is about palm trees. Two years back, I planted around 100 palm trees. Here is the old blog: https://blog.prabakarpaulsami.com/2021/11/planted-100-palm-trees-palmyra-palm.html I visited my farm, happy to see some progress and sharing the same here. The interesting fact is that, after two years of planting and waiting, I see now two leaves. :). Not all trees survived, but many survived our last year drought. It took two years, to see some visible progress as see you below. Many trees still have just one leave as you see below. Palm Trees take longer time to grow. An average growth rate is: 3 to 10 inches per year. What does it mean: This plantation is for next generation. I am sure that, I will not get any benefits from this plantation.  But, preserving/growing this tree for next generation. It is
