organic watermelons

Seema Ratheesh, a mathematics teacher from Kasargod district in Kerala, used her extra time during the COVID-19 lockdown to organically cultivate the Sugar Queen variety of watermelons.

“I failed even in growing tomatoes which are the easiest. Once I tried growing potatoes but the plant ended up giving me chillies,” says Dr Shivani Kalra, who is now growing watermelons and various other vegetables in grow bags like a pro.
