It's always amazing how similar traditions can be across cultures. I'm from northern India, and we celebrate the our fall harvest in a festival called Dussehra in a very similar way. We plant millets (Jowar) or wheat 10 days before the festival, and the length of the wheat grass is meant to signify our abundance during the cold winter months. Naturally, taller the grass, more yield from the last harvest of the year. As children we used to enjoy watering the seeds and watching them grow everyday! Hello Ferida,
