Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Mervyn, Thanks! Do you mean Pocha and Co in Pune? Along the Solapur Road? I was told what might grow well here includes: Amarant (tambdi bhaji), cucumber, ladies finger, bottle gourd, lettuce, brinjal, luffa, snake gourd, squash, watermelon, Flowers: marigold The idea is to get in better and hybrid varieties if possible. It's for a friend who's deeply interested in this. While searching, we found this interesting option, in Pondicherry, the former French colony on the east coast: http://www.annadana.com/ FN 2009/10/18 Mervyn & Elsie Maciel <mervynels.watuwasha...@googlemail.com>: > Don't know if our seeds would do well in the Goa climate.
