I can see you are really doing great on your farm. That land is looking well harrowed and clean and that maize is wow. keep it up. I could not make last Saturday as planned cos I went to my farm. Will this Saturday be ok? in the morning by lets say 8: am? is the road passable in view of the trouble at Dei-Dei? |
Re: My 2022 Farm Diary by Maryam1234(f): 3:45pm On May 20, 2022 |
Jonnic1:If you're coming by 8am that means you're coming directly to the farm, because I will be going to the market very early in the morning.But my husband will be available at the farm.I have told him about your coming.The road is clear, security operatives are on patrol.Hope to see you as planned. |

I was there on Saturday as planned. The location is beautiful and very fertile land all around for farming. Thank you @ Maryam for the time and direction. I met with her husband and am in the process of acquiring a sizeable piece of land for my farm project. |

Maryam1234: The maize looks fresh. Keep it up Madam. Please, what's the plan for the maize when harvested.. Sold fresh or as grains |
Re: My 2022 Farm Diary by Maryam1234(f): 7:59pm On May 25, 2022 |
northbird:Stored for personal consumption,we are actually in to Subsistence farming for now.We don't buy Maize and Beans all year round.After harvesting Yams,we can stay for like Six months before buying.Thanks for the kind remarks,God bless you Sir |
Re: My 2022 Farm Diary by Maryam1234(f): 8:02pm On May 25, 2022 |
Jonnic1:Thanks for coming around Sir, Don't worry we will acquire a good plot by His Grace.Even though you didn't get the maximum hectares you require this year, I will make sure you pay on time for lease next year,if God spares our lives. |
Re: My 2022 Farm Diary by northbird: 9:30pm On May 25, 2022 |
Maryam1234: Waoh. Madam, that's great. But how do you plan to preserve it. After harvest 1 hectare of maize is quite huge fa! Or you just pluck maize when you need it at d home front. |
Re: My 2022 Farm Diary by Maryam1234(f): 9:56pm On May 25, 2022 |
northbird:Preservation is not an issue Sir,we use some for garrin masara,we send to our parents in the village, while harvesting we gift raw Maize to neighbors, after harvest I normally share about 2 mudules accros my viscinity.After doing all this things I have just mentioned, the remaining one won't be Herculean to preserve.Infact, I shared raw Maize to my former neighbors last year, about an hour drive from my home.If you live within or around Abuja, you can quote me during harvest, Transport on you |

I was so so elated,I won't do Jacky work on the farm again.My maize is progressing,I have planted my Groundnut,Okra will be ready for harvest in one week time.Infact my groundnut sprouted 3 days after planting all thanks to my Agricultural Economist of a husband,He knows everything about Agriculture both theory and practical, for someone to have First Class Certificate in Agricultural Economics and Extension no be Moi-Moi.I told him this result will not waste, that was how we started our farming activities last year.We intend going into Farming proper,so that we can Farm all year round but he has to sack his Boss first, you Gerrit.I don't have recent picture to share today but I will do justice to that in due time, hustle nor let me enter Farm for weeks now but you see my garden,e dey give me joy.Abeg who need free Okra, I'm taking booking.cc Abuja Residents only,Na backyard of Niger State I dey.Infact! What am I saying, I'm in between Niger State and Abuja State.Na during election we be Abuja, for Infrastructural development na Niger State.Nigeria Politicians,Na wah!!!

Maryam1234: I have Read the above post over and over Again and can't help but comment; especially on �� "This particular land if well cultivated using mechanize farming techniques can feed the citizens of a State (not an exxageration)" May I know what is stopping you from acquiring and using the land? |
Re: My 2022 Farm Diary by Maryam1234(f): 6:35pm On Jun 16, 2022 |
IvyGRush:The owner of the property gave a standing order that farming activities should not take place on the land, it's her property already and her orders.But this year I saw some people trespassing,she confront them and they replied her, we're hungry.The land is still here, uncultivated, unused, and she hasn't even built up to 50 Blocks of Bungalow.Mind you I don cultivate my groundnut, I'm waiting for their actions. 1 Like |

Ma, please how many months did it take the Lady (Okra) to start fruiting? I believe its a local variety from the open market? |

Dear Diary, So I cook okra soup today using the okra I harvested from my garden, isn't that amazing? Harvesting of okra has to be every two to three days until it stops bringing fruit on it's own,so work done begin,and I still have small on the farm o. Secondly my groundnut is doing pretty well, hubby planted Bambara Nut on 10 ridges for experimental purpose and we plant Soyabeans as well This is the year of variety for us.
