Don’t be surprised that Lagosians eat the first and last set of harvest o.
At the end of the day, it’s all about the money.

It does, when people lick and throw away the seeds like early man was planting without being aware..

If you grow it from seeds, it takes 5-7years to fruit.


If you grow from budding, It will fruit in lesser time than the above estimated..

People do grow it's orchard like the family friend that called me last week, she has an orchard of it.
The landed properties her hubby bought when he was Buhari's personal lawyer, she is converting some to udara orchard.

Infact fruits are becoming a thing for the average and above class.

These economic fruits are cash crops now.

Yes.
There’s nothing more joyful and exciting than seeing your plant sprout.

Of course.

When we (me and my friends) were little, we would get empty milk tins, fill them more than half way with soil ,water the soil and plant bean seeds in them. (Beans were a favorite choice because they sprout faster)

As for doing well, that one is sure, some in SE are doing far better than some in Lagos..Even though lagos has more opportunities in most cases...The money and population.

I remember back then, we all planted our beans around the same time.
So each day, everyone will check on their plants, water them and put them where they can get some sun.
Some days later, some among us announced excitedly that their plants have begin to sprout, while mine and some others seemed like nothing was happening. (Even though I was more than diligent in watering mine o. )
Even one of us that even skipped some days in watering his plant, and yet it sprouted.

About two days after theirs germinated and mine didn’t, I became worried and began to doubt myself that there must’ve been something I didn’t do right.
I thought maybe I had planted bad seeds, seeds that had holes in them or maybe I didn’t water it enough.
Before the end of that day, I lost patience and dug out the seed to check, LO AND BEHOLD! It was already growing, but I killed it out of my impatience.
I had to plant another one all over again.

So since then, I took it as one of life’s lessons on the principles and rewards of faith, diligence and patience.

Exactly...fulfilling when you achieve success and equally make money from it.

My ideal family is going to have a homestead..like that YouTube channel you shared..That couple in heaven .


Hahahahaha the story got me cracking imagination of your frustration and worries as no germination in sight..

You can be a bit impatience like mpa m
I churu ya oku oku..

You must learn to be patience with Agro and other things in general...More like enduring.
No quick cash in agro until you have run series of long term investments.

Yea charcoal grill...It comes with a unique flavour..

I did simple and easy way...Fresh habanero, dry cayenne pepper, the ginger, garlic and curry powder, onion and seasoning cube + salt..

I had to pre cook(this only way I can eat it without thinking I am eating uncooked meat ) for some minutes without water before coating with the spices again and a little oil..
Then, placed it on a grill...From there to stomach

DryMouth:
This rubbish.
Very bitter fruit rubbish.
I can't classify this thing as fruit

You need to get your tongue checked.... there is nothing bitter about that fruit... even the unripe fruit has little to no trace of bitterness to it.

You can propagate using either seed gotten from matured dry flower or you propagate with fresh stem like the ones in the local market..You can buy and plant them.

It same with Nchuanwu.

Do you like the curry leaf?


Yea, that smokey flavour is heavenly...You can as well cut onion and throw some into the red hot burning coal for more flavour..or you make use of herbal leaves.
Yea very basic o, learning how to give my family a treat when it is time.
But anytime I visit the malls, I will add barbecue sauce to needs.
They sell sharwama wrap(tortilla) at the malls right?

I can't complain to my plug again, I am settling for a home made..

Munzy14:

It’s no secret.

Just a good amount of onions (emphasis on good amount) chopped and fried on a medium to low heat to let the sweetness and flavor slowly infuse into the oil, before adding anything further.
If you fry onions on a high heat, it’ll fry too quickly and taste bitter.
A tasty stew(or anything that starts with frying) starts by building flavor in your oil.

Yes..n'aka m naa

Aside the zodiac thing, there are others I don’t remember.

I should start asking more questions about agriculture okwaya?

I don't like eating chicken outside my comfort zone..Either beef or fish is it for me...I wish they have fish as protein in it, than usual beef and chicken.

Unless a special somebody decided to give me a treat, then I can eat the chicken and make the person happy
Even when I visit mai suya people, I no dey look their chicken side..
