In your case your seed I mean the one you planted is or was weak. When selecting the seeds for planting next time, select the dark ones those ones are matured seeds that would sprout and grow. The darker the seed the better.
oh thank you serial

To the younger ones.

What you see here is the secret behind the contentment of the older Nigerian generations until a man called Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida became our first and only military 'president', though self anointed. He brought corruption into the mainstream and made it cool.

We've always had the corrupt in large numbers but they were never accepted in our conservative society. They were outcasts that you only associate with if you have sold your soul to the devil. With IBB, it became a matter of if you can't beat them you join them. That is the seed of the huge ocean of corruption that we swim in today. We all have the blame, just laying it out so we know the effect of individual actions.

Back in those days, a typical Nigerian home was comfortable and self-sustained even if they don't have a dime or any car. They all produce what they consume and purchase only the basic necessities. Our parents will rather die than go borrowing to eat. They can borrow to grow, to build, but not to eat.

Local manufacturers including government initiatives like Odua Investments were producing most of the stuff that we import today. Our refineries were functional. Affordable cars were being assembled in Nigeria. That was a major factor behind why foreign exchange was never an issue and our local currency was strong. We appreciated good foreign products but we never worshipped them. Our schools and universities were producing foodstuff in-house.

We may have our issues but our solutions lie within each of us and our daily economic decisions. Import, but never import more than you produce and start by avoiding importing what you can produce locally. Even if it's just cassava, maize, vegetables, plant something today. God already blessed our land with fertile soil. Now we have flooding, when the challenge is over I pray we appreciate what we have by making our land productive.

Early this year,my family and I decided to use the undeveloped part of our property for a family garden.

Even the children were not left out as they planted some maize. It has been an interesting experience so far as we are all enthusiastic about the whole process. We take turns to tend to the crops.

Some of the crops we planted include:
* Maize
* Potatoes
* Okro
* Water leave
* Bitter leave
* Spinach
* Jute leave (Ewedu)
* Beans
* Yam
* Fluted pumpkin
Other random crops we have in our property are plantains, bananas, pineapples,scent leave, lemon grass,pawpaw and mango.

I get manure from a nearby poultry to boost the crop growth.

I will be sharing pictures to encourage anyone who wants to take same bold step. We are beginning to enjoy some of the harvests.

This initiative has helped limit the purchase of some family needs.

Agriculture is life!

God bless you real good!

Hello dear Person,

I just want to say, i love the effort you are putting into your garden. You have plenty there, from potatoes to yam, to spices and fruits, and if you can add animals to get your meat, you are settled. smiley smiley smiley


Just imagine, if you also do vertical farming and you had twice the land and you have mastered the techniques cheesy cheesy

Nice farm.
Why did you space your maize so much but planted you plantain so close? Plantain usually have some babies sprouted around the main one that was planted. I feel the spacing for the plantain is too small and that of the maize is too much.

I Think the angle of the camera didn't do justice to it. The plantains are well spaced. Suckers are beginning to sprout already from them. Thanks for your contribution!

Great.
But, I don't know how to do farming/ orchards without imagining snakes being attracted to it.
Plant snake repellent plants, like lemon grass, Apple mint, scent leaves

OP hope you know that potato leaves can be used to make sauce for eating yam or plantain just like pumpkin leaves? Hope u know that u can also add it to Melon soup and okra as vegetables? So pls don't let your fresh potato leaves go to waste its nutritious and delicious.
