Ehen quick one, how do we store yam standing, the rough part down or up? Cheers

The bottom down,you can go extra mile to build a Yam Barn it's cost effective and your yam can be there for years without getting spoilt.

Dear Diary,
Currently applying herbicide on my beans farm and watching as the sunset behind the abyss of the Rock.The progress so far was "WOW" The contentment that will come with this year's harvest is gonna be amazing The beans are doing pretty well from different locations and no regrets at all.Alhamdulillah, which of the favours of thy Lord will I deny?

Dear Diary,
We have finally started harvesting our beans in Batches.The rain stopped early and it affected the butter beans,we learnt a lesson:
*Butter beans requires more rain fall than iron beans.We will improve on this lesson next year InshaAllah.

Maryam1234:
I told you guys my farm bothers some natural artefacts e.g the Zuma Rock right.I will show you the backside of Zuma Rock. I know some of you haven't seen it's picture from the back before also the mining site is included.Enjoy This Rock is a world heritage site, people come here from accros the world for tourism.Nollywood proffesionals sometimes do come for filming activities as well.The twin Rock is used for hiking by youths and children.

I've been here many times when I was living in Abuja.


I used to visit the park very close to Zuma Rock.


Is your farm around the park?


Great Work.


Keep it up.

Thanks for this Maryam

Your beans looks luxuriant and nice to behold!

Please,

i) What spacing did you use within rows? - They appear fairly compacted

ii) What selective herbicide did you use? - That did not hurt the beans at this stage of foliage

Thanks

The park has become a shadow of itself,the structures are still here but the place is not functional anymore.The site surrounding the park has been bought over by Dantata/Sawoe they intend building an Estate (Live close to Nature) here.
My farm is adjacent The Zuma Rock from back, another one is situated at the back of one of the twin rock.We also have one close to Asphalt Company;all within the same vicinity.Distance from my house to the farm is 15 minutes walk by foot.Thanks for finding this thread noteworthy,God bless you.

Things in high demand over here;that of course are coming from the South.
*Plantain
*Palm Oil
*Garri
*Bitter Kola
*Processed Cashew nut
*Crayfish
*Ghana Coconut
These are the few I can recall now sir,all the afforementioned are daily needs commodity coming to the North from the South,the farther you are from Abuja the more expensive you get them i.e, someone buying crayfish in Sokoto will buy higher than someone buying from Lokoja because of proximity.

Wow! I never knew you're a male all the while,we still have potatoes vine though, but since the season for planting is over I will remember you next year by His Grace.

You're right ma'am,so many things I didn't mention.Each region has it's own comparative advantage and we're better as ONE indivisible Entity.

Dear Diary,
We have harvested all the beans, next step is pounding or beating to seperate the chaff from the good beans.Did I mentioned we've started cooking the beans already? Oh yes! No time to check time.
It was a tiring experience,we contracted some women to help hasten the harvest as herder's have started scavenging for foliage with immediate effect, imagine a Fulani boy waiting with his cattles for you to finish before entering your farm, it's damn serious.
This one even speaks Hausa ( An'gama?Have you finished? As if na their rights to enter the farm Omo by force harvesting started, we left the farm very late immediately our neighbors came because those Fulani nor want go.Our neighbor has to employ one of the Fulani boy to help him cut his Sorghum;the man was scared like he had a bitter experience with them before.
The soil covering the Bambara nut is so strong that it's making the digging process difficult,we regretted not digging up during the raining season but no wahala,we will be digging it for fun intermittently as we progress.
To all my readers,
Thanks for the motivation to keep on updating
Much Love

Wow! That was serious. I didn't even know that anything was happening. We pray that peace will be restored and everything will be back to normal.

Well-done sir.
