In the rainy seasons in the villages in Kokan people cultivate vegetables (if they practice they can grow them through out the year). In the month of May they prepare the pits to plant various variety of vegetables. This process is called 'alli lavne' in Marathi. Cow dung is used as manure. Usually this is done at the backyard or on the boundaries of the paddy fields. These vegetables are the common vegetables that we are eat. But the enjoyment of eating vegetables planted by oneself cannot be purchased from the market.
Also along with the cultivated vegetables in this season wild grown vegetables are also available and consumed in plenty such as "takla" "tera" names in Marathi.
