We are overjoyed to be able to see with our own eyes the outcomes of the flowering and fruiting seed packets provided by ECHO ASIA. The associate organic farmer, Ms. Tho, gave us a tour of the garden with great enthusiasm and showed us “the Okra tree, which had already produced fruit. She excitedly shared that she had preserved the seeds to share with the other farmers in the group, and expressed how having old plant kinds kept her able to start a fresh harvest earlier when the weather was right rather than having to go seeking plants whose origin and quality she is unsure about.
