Just planted. Looks yellowish.
24 July 2022
Sign of life appears
31 July 2022
28 August 2022
Good growth. 
11 Sep 2022
The water is now drained. About two feet height. Flower not appeared yet. Surprising a rainbow 🌈 appeared in the background.
18 September 2022
One plant began flowering.
2 October 2022
Several heads of grains appeared, not all yet. One plant of tares stood above all paddy with its flowers.
15 October 2022
Now most plants are flowering. The tares are removed. Perhaps will ripen in about 2 weeks.
23 October 2022
Within a week most grains appear yellowish. Almost ready for harvest. Good sunlight last one week which may have accelerated ripening. 
20 Nov 2022
Missed the sight of full blow ripening. By the time I reach again after 3 weeks, paddy was already harvested.
