Happy new day to us all. It's a bright and beautiful day and a blessing to be hale and hearty.
Yesterday's farm work was a bit of an easy task for us as we went wedding this jute mallow veggies bed.
Alongside other veggies that we have planted, this jute mallow is just coming in. A lot of people eat different vegetables, spinach are some of the widely consumed vegetables around here hence more of spinach has been grown and eaten during this season.
Jute mallow is more of a cultural vegetables common and widely eaten among mostly the Yoruba people of this community.
Personally I don't eat jute mallow but after learning about it's health importance I often try to take it at least once I'm a while.
Different cultures in this part of the world have different receive and plants they eat.
Moringa plants is often common among the Hausa people.
Each culture understand the health benefits of the different vegetables they consume and once I learn the benefit of one vegetables from a culture I learn to eat such vegetables with them even if it is in small quantity.
Since Spinach has been the most commonly eaten vegetables, it was more profitable growing them. About 2-3session of spinach has already be grown and harvested.
Jute mallow was eventually grown based on demand as a lot of the local population requested for it....In just within a month it has grown to this extent
Since the rains have started fallen which will be beneficial to the growth of these veggies we have cleared the grasses and prepared the crops for a progressive growth.
It almost seemed like the jute aren't growing well from the irrigation water and hopefully we would see more changes and the rains now come with a much more benefits and cooler temperature for the growth of this plant.
Luckily for us there was another downpour yesterday right after the we left the farm.
