Sometimes I wish that I have some of my hive friends close by so that they can have a taste of the crops we have in our farm. Just take a look at this very large maturing corn cobs. Even from the farm someone is craving for some roasted corn already.
It's a beautiful new week and I am up a bit early today. The weather has been friendly Hence we had a quality night rest. It is time to rise and shine and I hope that this week will bring good fortune our way.
No sooner has this corn starting tasseling before the appearance of these corn 🌽 cobs. It was about 3 weeks ago I had taking pictures of these corn and had noticed that they will soon begin to carry the cobs, those corn pictures I took that day didn't make it to hive but what a pleasant surprise it was for us when we check on the corn this weekend and discovered this. The growth of this corn has been quite massive and I was so surprised that corn planted in dry seasons can produce as much corn as this.
While weeding out grasses from our farms during the last week weeding exercise, it was some labourers that assisted in clearing this portion. The ground here must have been really fertile for this corn to produce this much.

While the scotch bonnet planted here this year had struggled to grow, the corn has been massively productive. This is the second time these corns where planted here during this dry season river bank farming. The initial one has been harvested but the growth of this one has been quite massive than I thought ...
The most surprising thing here is that the scotch bonnet planted hare have been struggling to do well.
They were planted in a mixed manner and this may have affected the pepper. Some crops are not meant to be planted together such that regardless of how much you space their planting timing oke will grow up to overshadowed the other. Peppers most especially do not like being overshadowed like the way this corn has done. Soon the corns will be plucked out and just maybe the pepper might pick up again.
Peppers do not often die off immediately, some are biannual crops and even after a first harvest on them the pepper plant can stay viable and productive for a good while.
