Rice Planting Concludes Amidst Monsoon Rains and Saune Sankranti Preparations

The planting of paddy in most terraced fields has been completed due to timely rains. Our planting, which started in the mud on Asar 10, was also finished within the same month. The final patch for planting was in the field near our house. As it had been empty for a few days after harvesting maize, the bunds were quite eroded due to the heavy rain.

While leveling, the roots of the Chitrey Bansho plant caused trouble. Nevertheless, leveling is easier than in Shrawan. After a little effort, the bund looked quite large. I leveled the bund with a rake, ensuring it was full of water.
