About The Book: In this book, the author's primary focus is horticulture, particularly the art of cultivating kitchen and fruit gardens. Additionally, the author acknowledges the evolution of a distinct and specialized discipline centered on the nurturing and maintenance of flowers. This reliance on local gardeners referred to as "vudlees" within the Hindu population has resulted in a limited supply of delicate vegetables for the dining table. Furthermore, the availability of these vegetables is restricted to just a few months each year.
