Hello Hive

It is lettuce planting day and my friends here didn't waste time in having us plant some lettuce. Sincerely I love vegetables and can hardly go a day without eating some vegetables in my meals.
It's either I eat vegetables stew or I have some vegetables in my rice or some vegetables salad 🥗.

This is the first time a very large mass of this particular lettuce will be planted here. Usually it is planted in very small quantity and hardly enough to go round during harvest as a lot of people will stick around while the lot of it will be taken to the market to make better profit. I am so so glad that the quantity planted this time around is quite enourmouse and in about 6weeks times I should be having as much and much of these lettuce to eat.

The work started with cultivation of the land yesterday and you can see the labourers men right under the tree after some long hours of cultivating the land.
The land is a clay-loamy area and very rich in nutrient and water retention hence you can see how much water is covering the land already after the little downpour we had.

Even though lettuce requires some very cool area with adequate amount of water supply, the water shouldn't be so much that it was will swallow up the vegetables especially these purely vegetative lettuce, they can get rotten inside water with 24-48hrs.

The ridges has to cultivated high enough for the lettuce to stay above the water level.
While cultivation was going on, some people were cultivating the land while the rest of us were transplanting the seedlings, these lettuce seedlings have been brought from some other locations, vegetatively like this. They have been pre-grown and prepared for this season. That's the only process I want to learn about growing lettuce.

Picking up from here I can grow lettuce from start to consumptions based on the work we have been doing so far regarding these. Water leaf plants, lettuce here and fluted pumpkins are my best best veggies so far. I have planted some water leaves about two weeks ago and had check on their progress when they were only a week old. Would work more in the later in the day to ensure that the water leaves survives and if there will be need to plant more. With these we will have some quality supply of all these nutritious vegetables for use.
