The Nursary Plants are picked at Ramji Nursary in Nagarcoil. This includes around 35 coconut saplings of 4 varieties.

Mallikai - Jasmine Plants are first to go. These are Nagapattinam variety

Sweet Potato is a vein. We obtained this from neighbours farm through Subbu Contact for a small price. But the land preparation is a very delicate thing as can be seen. It cost 2 labor days.
