Gardening Jamara
Jamara is very special for Dashain festival. It is our religious and is very useful for our health. Jamara is a cultural and traditional plant of Hindu community which is used as a blessing and love from elder people at the time of Dasahara or Dashain. This is grown from the seed of maize, barley, and wheat. "Jamara" is kept far from sunlight because it should be yellow in color but I used that "Jamara" as a medicine of different health problems.
I tried growing Jamara and I am happy to let you know that, it came out well.
If anyone wants to try it, this is what I did.
1.Soak barley seeds overnight. I used a Jamara mix (barley, wheat) from Nepali grocery shop.
2.Get a deep bowl or container with a flat bottom. Fill it with a layer of sand about one or two inches thick.
3.Sprinkle a layer of soaked Jamara mix into the container. Make sure it is only one layer of the seeds so they have enough room to sprout.
4..Cover the seeds with a thin layer of sand.
5..Sprinkle some water in the container. The sand should be moist, not be soggy.
6.. Cover the container and put it in a dark place away from the sun.
I tried growing Jamara and I am happy to let you know that, it came out well.
7..Check the container daily to make sure that the sand is moist.
8..Hurray, Jamara is ready for Tika.
Lets try with just barely and wheat as I think that would be even better.
