Oxone: Come join me

armyofone: I really love your garden. I want one but time.
My goal is to plant scent leaf, Ugwu and Nigeria spinach.

Did you plant into the ground? Share your planting idea.

If you give me your plate, i will eat only the stew and meat . The only time i eat ewedu is when my mom once in blue moon used it for Ogbono.



Ohh, ogbono is next on my list of soups to learn! Any tips and a plate of gbegiri and chicken stew may be coming your way ?

We did plant it in the ground. Sometimes I plant in containers and sometimes in a small plot along my side fence where I get the most sunlight. I love backyard gardening, and have planted corn, tomatoes, peppers, peas, okra, cucumbers, melons, squash, zucchini, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, lettuce, and carrots. If you plant in a container box or in a few planters on your back porch it is not time consuming (I.e. You don't have to do a lot of weeding or ground prep). My advice would be to start simple (2-3 easy to grow plants in a few containers or a 4x4 container box).
The good thing about the ewedu, efo tete and efo shoko that my husband planted is that it is very prolific. These bad boys grew like weeds, and we still have so much tete and shoko that I will be freezing it. It has also been very low maintenance. All we do is water, and about once every couple of weeks I'll go out and weed it. Now oko mi's style of planting is different than mine. He throws so many seeds out there and mixes them all up that I guess that's why we've had very few weeds, whereas I do neat and orderly rows with space between each plant. Whatever works, right! Anyway, try it. It's the best thing because you know you're getting food free of pesticides, it's the freshest you could ever get, and you're increasing your ability to provide for you and your family and be self-reliant in the event of food scarcity.

dasparrow:

This is the problem I have with many Nigerians abroad. Just because things are cheap in your city and you are doing well does not mean it is the same all over America and with everyone. I have lived in America for over 13 years, went to college here and everything. America used to be good back in the late nineties but everything has changed now. There are indeed no jobs for the most part except maybe in the medical field. Most jobs - especially manufacturing, IT and customer service - are being shipped abroad to China, Malaysia, Philippines and the likes.

So my point is, things are hard in America now. Even those born and bred in America are finding it difficult to find a decent paying job much less someone who came directly from Nigeria with a thick Nigerian accent, an African name which most Americans are often times unwilling to try to pronounce and so on. As a christian, I believe in telling Nigerians in Nigeria the truth so that if they do choose to come to the USA, they will have realistic expectations.

Many Nigerians in America don't want to tell the truth because they want to come back to Nigeria and boast. What most Nigerians in Nigeria don't know is that many residents in America are neck deep in debt. Their mates in Nigeria are building their homes in Nigeria and elsewhere with raw cash while those with homes in America for the most part are drowning in mortgage debt. If they cannot keep up with their monthly mortgage payments, the house goes into foreclosure irrespective of how much one has already paid towards the house.

All that glitters is indeed not gold.
