Like how to plant it

This generation must have never heard of Operation Feed the Nation.

We planted almost everything in our compound. My favourite was ugu and bitterleaf. There was cassava too, and yam and bananas and shọkọ and okro and lots of pawpaws.

It was a single plot of 120mx60m in Ketu Lagos with a 2 storey-house on it too, so planting was all by the edges of the property. The bit I hated was not being able to go to the village for the holidays because my labour was required on our 'farm'.

Tomatoes are the easiest to plant, just discard water with tomatoes seeds and watch it start to grow after some weeks. I think you need to dry pepper and okra seeds for them to be able to grow. As for vegetables, you'll have to buy their seeds from farmers, those that sell in the markets can sell to you or direct you on how to get them.

Ok

Jmm

Agbado and Cassava

Weed is the best

Ours was in Ojota, a storey building and in front, my parents planted Coconut (2), Mango, Orange, Tangerine, Pawpaw, Plantain and Banana then for veggies, we steadily had Oha, bitterleaf, nchanwu (Efirin, scent leaf)......our compound had a village feel and I did hate washing bitter leaves.
