Around the month of March 2023,i got some cassava stems from my neighbor. I decided to add it to some crops in my garden as i still have some unused space on my plot of land.

Lo and below, i harvested it January 2024 and i got some reasonable tubers which i processed into 'Lafun'.

Upon milling it, i got about 4 painter of flour.

I used a very big tuber to make 'abacha' which i and my family enjoyed with coconut.

The interesting part about this process was the experience for my young kids. Funny enough they were seeing cassava for the first time. My son said he thought garri was made from cassava leaves😄.

The crops in my garden include:
* Cassava
* Plantain
* Beans (the ones Igbos call fiofio)
* Bitter guard ( i substitute it for fresh tomatoes)
* Okra
*Scent pepper

Leafy vegetables are not left out:
* Water leaves
* Spinach
* Bitter leave
* Fluted pumpkin (Ugu)
* Scent leaves

Among the fruit planted are:
* Pawpaw
* Mango
* Native pear
* Pineapple
* Banana
* Coconut
* Sugar cane
*Soursop

Most of the fruits have not reached maturity except the pawpaw and sugar cane.
The fruits were planted in a way that they would not obstruct future development of the land.

Note:
The cassava only took a very small portion of the land, but the harvest was impressive compared to my expectations and effort put in.
This time around,with the economic 'balablu', i have expanded the space i will be using as i will be planting more cassava. The cassava stems are already prepared from the previous harvest and ready to be planted.

Just plant something,no matter how small!
