I give God all the glory for the help and also to thank my nairaland mentors,not forgetting those following this thread. I did first harvest and the second and I'm so happy even though I was disappointed when I was swindled by market women,the first day of my sale. I sold a bag for 2300 but I swear never to go to them again unless I can sell upscale. I went to places, I discovered some upscale eatery buy in kg and 1 I eventually had a deal buys for 200/kg 1 Like |
