Hi. Do you love gardening and fresh veggies? So do we! My dad and I have always had a motto to grow fresh, eat fresh.
Being raised in a vegetarian home, and having my grandfather be a big part of my life, he always told me about how he loved the traditional Indian vegetables and meals, he was raised with in India. However, it was always a challenge, for my grandparents, to find these traditional vegetables, especially in a relatively small town. These vegetables started becoming more accessible when my mom was growing up, but only in nearby urban cities. Even to this day, though these traditional Indian vegetables are accessible, the quality of fruit is compromised. On the other hand, my dad always had the pleasures of enjoying these great vegetables in India, where they are predominately found.
From a young age, I have always been interested in growing plants and eating the fruit that the plant had produced. In our previous home, we made our first vegetable garden, starting small at first, and gardening more "easy to grow" vegetables such as tomatoes and pepper. As each gardening year passed, our garden grew slightly bigger and bigger, adding more variety of vegetables to the garden. Then we decided to move, and we started all over again with our garden in our new home, but this time, we started with some experience. Now our garden has grown to include tomatoes (beef steak, roma, and cherry), peppers (jalapenos, cayenne, pablano, and bell), eggplants (black beauty and chinese), basil, cilantro, lettuce, zucchini, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, and ridge gourd, and the beauty, we refrain from the use of any pesticides! How much easier can access to fresh, not so common vegetables get?
After successful years of gardening, we decided to build a small greenhouse to get a headstart on our seedlings, and for the first time, in the summer of 2020, we thought of sharing our specialty vegetable seedling wealth with others, especially since they aren't readily available, by offering our specialty vegetables plants at nominal price to anyone interested, and the response for overwhelming. Additionally, during my 7 years of volunteering at the senior center in Burlington, which was comprised of 90% Indians, I learned that the senior citizens share a passion for gardening, however, they had trouble germinating the plants themselves, particularly the Indian native plants. Subsequently, my father and I decided to donate 10% of the all of our germinated seedlings to the senior citizens at the center to share the art of gardening as well as the delicious fruit.
Our motto, grow fresh, eat fresh, combined with our love for gardening, fresh vegetables, and great meals, is what brought Veggie Vines to life.
