SHORT COURSE ON OPTIMIZING HOME GARDEN : PART 6


Another vegetable that give contribution on the family income here is 'Bayam Tahun' or annual amaranth.



Farmers pick the young-tender leaves and shoots regularly.



The shoots picked repeatedly.



The new young shoots will emerged from the leaf axils after the shoot have harvested.



So fresh, so healthy...



We can find this vegetable that grown in every home garden here.



A very productive garden.
