Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Frederick, Sorry, but I can't remember the actual name of the seed company apart from the word "Pestonji" which sticks in my mind. I was never in Poona so can't recall the address(i.e. road etc) The various vegetables you've mentioned should all do well in Goa; I remember some of them from my childhood days in Goa where some of our villagers would grow prize lady fingers, snake gourds, tendlim, not forgetting thambdi bhaji(which sadly I've not been able to grow in our allotment plot even though our mutual friend Tony Fernandes(TF) has had success. It was he who gave me the seeds. As for marigold - this should do well in Goa. We grow it here and it almost goes wild! My wife(Elsie) uses the flowers to make a cream(ointment) for dry skin which is very effective. The flower belongs to the Calendula family. Good luck to your friend. -- Mervyn
