FIRST TIME GETTING FULL-SIZED CORN HARVEST FROM MINI-GARDEN SACK

Well I started growing maize - corn in this mini-garden less than a year ago - just few sacks at a time due to space constraints.

Though the corn are very sweet but their sizes are usually small. Price of  corn depends on where you are buying but I don't think those sizes of boiled or roasted corn can cost any more than N100.

But last week for the first time I got a relatively big sized corn! 

It should cost at least N200 to N300 and it is so very  delicious - remember the technique of manuring with remnants of very sweet fruits, coconut chaff, tigernuts chaff, any sweet food wastes? You get sweet crop harvests in return.

So this morning, from the sack I harvested Cocoyam last week I decided to pour the soil into a new sack. 

I would be planting another set of corn - who no like better thing!- at least the corn should be full-grown latest August, even earlier.

But in a few years from now I must have a full-fledged farm  o- I want bounteous harvests at each harvesting time instead of one or two or  just few corn cobs per harvest. 

But if all you have to do gardening  for now is a small space, be grateful for any harvest

Meanwhile the snake (paste) tomatoes are not disappointing at all  - they usually ripen on time to make stews, soups, jollof rice, porridge or other delicacies - food cooked  partly or fully with farm fresh ingredients sure  taste different to the pallate and help with staying healthy and bubbling with good health.  It's not because I read agriculture, I must farm o!

OTHER GIST
Almond seedling just started sprouting in one of the sacks of soil. Almond tree is a big tree, so not sure if it will fruit in a sack. Still wondering what to do - perhaps fill the sack with more soil so the almond root can have more length ....uuummm... the challenges of a space-constrained mini-gardener!.
