My story

From a desk job to growing my own food

I'm a software engineer. My work means sitting at a desk all day, and after 10 years of it, my body started to complain: back pain, and then other health problems.

So I decided to start a hobby. I've loved growing plants since I was a child, so that's what I picked. But from day one I set myself a goal: if I'm going to grow vegetables, I'll grow enough that I don't need to buy them from the bazaar.

I started slowly: dhania, podina, bhindi, karela and much more. Four years later, there are vegetables I no longer buy at all, because now I know how much to grow and how to grow it.

Why Mr Lemon Gardening

I started Mr Lemon Gardening to share this with you: how to grow food at home, and how to eat healthy. One thing I can say with full confidence: vegetables grown at home with clean water and vegetables from the bazaar are worlds apart.

I also want to show people how to grow fruit plants and flowers at home, and how to look after them.

Being independent

When I started, my goal was to be independent. With the way the world is today, I believe every home should grow at least some of its own vegetables and fruit.
