CyberHustle:
yams in sacks.

Slimkween:
Okra!!!!!!
See the ones I harvested yesterday

sylve11:
I have never seen a big harvest from yams in the sack.
They are always tiny.

sylve11:
These are semi dried okras na.

Slimkween:
Ogbeni open ya eyes well.
Those aren't semi dried at all.

CyberHustle:
really? I wonder what makes yam big then.

budaatum:
The freshness is in their obvious youth. Only those who grow it like you can have eyes to see it.

Slimkween:
Please help me tell them oooo
Something that I harvested myself.
Thank you jare.

budaatum:
When you cook that your nice fresh okro I bet you laugh at them. So, why should they be told when they don't deserve to know? It's not as if they deserve the freshness you are eating.

Abeg, if they want to know they should go and plant their own.

NACE13:
My parents are the ones who like farming. I grew up as a mini-spoilt kid. Prior to last year, I had never for once held a cutlass or a hoe.
My mother loves papaye and orange a lot, so she's constantly on their matter. She also has pepper, pumpkin leaves, scent leaves. She's planing on launching yam and potato as well. My own is to come around and collect some I can use to cook in my house

onatisi:
are you sure ? I think yams need to be deep in the soil to grow big

budaatum:
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'.

dominique:
Tomatoes (thrives on any type of soil), peppers, okra, vegetables like ugu, shoko etc

dominique:
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.

Probz:
Loads and loads. Tomatoes being the most-obvious bet.

budaatum:
Plant in loose soil (that's the purpose of the big mound). And let it grow for 2+ years, preferably 3.

Lukuluku69:
A lot depending on the size of your compound and lay out.

Where I stay, Plantain Tree is a standard must have

You can do Tomatoes, Pepper, Cassava, Yam in sacks, even Potatoes. Like I said, it depends on the size of your compound and the layout.

See fresh Cassava I harvested yesterday evening. Still undecided whether to do Cassava Flour (Elubo Lafun) or just Garri.


N.B See the Cassava tuber. Diced and soaked. By Monday, sun drying to commence. I pray say make rain no fall next sha. If so, my Cassava flour should be ready.

Kobojunkie:
There is no such thing as dry season so long as you are able to water your garden and also plant crops that can withstand the temperature.

Silentgroper:
how would you say there's nothing like dry seasonz you could have explained that without the aforementioned statement..
