EVEN BEANS AGREE TO GROW IN SACK IN MY MINI-GARDEN

Imagine my excitement when I saw the pods of beans emerging from the bean plant grown in sack in my mini-garden.

I still do a lot of testing to see which plants can grow well and why not if they don't grow.   I planted the Cowpea or is it soya beans (not precisely sure now because I sprinkled both seeds in some sacks ) just to test o- I knew the plant would likely  emerge but didn't expect they would grow to pod forming stage.

The bean plants in about two other sacks grew to some extent and dried off.

By the way the maize - corn seeds I replanted after I saw a rat feasting on the seeds are yet to sprout - but I am no longer seeing any rat in my garden. Hope they are really gone and not just hiding because they found out I still have sone rat poison?

Surely the rats couldn't possibly have read my Social Media posts and fled?- not possible. But maybe the rat(s) that ate the poisoned delicacy  communicated to their counterparts what happened to them before they died.

Meanwhile I am ensuring that the surrounding area of my premises is kept clean just as I always keep within the premises clean.

But sighs....not everyone sees the need to keep their premises and the environs clean. Whether gardening or not, the cleanliness of people's immediate surroundings may be a reflection of the people.

Understandably not everyone would be able to engage in gardening, but at least keep your environment clean and uncluttered.

If you do decide to grow some plants, please ensure they are well-tended by doung it yourself or paying people to do it.

No point in growing plants and allowing them to grow so wild and untended that these  constitute nuisance in the environment .

This Nigeria self - it's becoming more and more obvious that the  issues of the country are what is called 'afowofa' - problems the person(s) caused by themselves.

Hmmmm....what will I do with the small  quantity of beans to be harvested from the sack harvest? Shebi something similar is used as fried rice ingredients and in salads? Maybe I will use it to cook/garnish local fried rice or local salad

My people most of those ingredients used in these dishes are highly commercialised because their market demand are high. So they are more often than not grown with fertilizers,  pesticides, herbicides and preserved also with some effective but harmful elements - please let's encourage commercial farmers to do organic farming and preservation  to help our populace in living healthy and long.
