For waterleaves? Plant them? Kind of sound strange to me hearing that. Although, I think I have seen where it's been grown at people's backyard. For me, waterleaves na confirm weeds on my farmlands. A few of my vegetables buyers come with sacks to help me weed them out.

To be honest, I don't know how they're grown intentionally.

They grow wildly and rapidly on our land too in the village, according to my uncle.
People wey need them dey come once once come harvest them.

Na free money for those your vegetable buyers be that naa.

Shey na say you no get buyers for the waterleaves?

Hmmm... nothing else is associated with what was initially posted. Everything else was done by me... from land clearing to burning the debris, making of beds, applying manure and finally, transplanting. Shikena!!!

Well, this may not be applicable to all. You can pay for it if you chose to. For me, making the beds isn't such a big deal grin. I gave myself of making 4 beds per day till i populate the whole one plot. Na bed making I dey use while away boredom undecided. . Likewise, manure from my poultry birds is been used. I have that in excess. And as for water, there's a borehole on the farm. Also, a well as a backup plan (I no get time to go dey look for fuel if light no dey and water finish for thank)

Cost reduction is Key for me. angry gbam!!!

Some of us that were raised in the city don't know much about farming.

I'll start by saying this favorite quote of mine; It is God's blessings deposited in man and discovered, and not just discovered but put to action that makes such a man successful in life. cool wink

Grew up in the heart of Lagos, Maryland & Festac to be precised. Nevertheless, we've always produced our own garri & fufu cheesy. Na so my papa go put me for his most priced car then, a Volkswagen aka Bettle aka Ijapa car, then drive all the way to ogun state villages bordering Lagos to go arrange cassavas to be processed. All those years, no farm lands we no dey enter grin. I would want to believe those are the years farming activities imprinted on my destiny cry undecided.
Moreso, we've always kept dogs, cats, rabbits and doves as pets growing up. So all these contributed to my passion for growing both livestock & loving how mother Earth gives life to plants, so fascinating.

But, the main confirmation as to me going to become a farmer, came in S.S.3 (in Federal Government College, Ijanikin, Lagos State), when God personally told me, You shall be a FARMER cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin grin grin. Heard Him loud & clearly.

Money does not always equate hardworking .

Some men with that mindset easily offend women.
It is okay for a woman to just admire a hardworking man.

O! Beautiful Thursday you are

Ojó 'Bo or Ojó Alamisi“

This is the day on which names of the days arrived. It is a day on which Ancestors visit the family. This is why every important festival begins on Thursday- Ọjọ́ Bo / Ọjọ́ Alamisi.

Woke up with a cheerful spirit, knowing fully well, it's going to be a beautiful blessed day. Just as I finished my early morning prayers to the One true God, my gate don dey make noise; gbam gbam gbam gbam!!! A fe ra Ewedu ati Soko ooo!!!. cool grin. (Make I no lie, na the bangs on the gate make me finish the prayer sharp sharp. Baba God forgive your son ooo).

I got out of my small Hamlet on the farm, did a quick stretch, and screamed; I dey cooooome ooooooo, make unaaaa no break my gate because of Efo ooooo. grin cheesy ( walahi, my belle just dey sweet me). To cut the long story short, I was able to sell 4 Soko beds at N7,000. And about 1k Ewedu, making a total income of N8,000.

Chai... Nothing will stop Iya Alaje from seeing me tonight, A plate of Cow tail pepper soup with a bottle of Pepsi (unfortunately, I don't take alcohol....chai, e pain me dieeeee).
