last time i posted a photo where i was making a fence for my garden. By Gods grace the garden is finally doing alright, I am still facing a few challenges the biggest challenge i have is water. with the fact that i am doing gardening in a tropical region, there is high rate of evaporation and its very hard for the ground to retain water due to excess heat. this is a picture of my maize in its early days I started with a few crops which included okra, cucumbers sweet potatoes and krain krain which is a sierra Leone local vegetable. i am planning on using the garden as a teaching platform for agriculture to the local community by inviting the facilitators from different communities that partner with village to village federation as soon as I introduce new crops that are not in the region. some of the crops i want to introduce include swish chard, Chinese cabbage, a different variety of maize and tomatoes. and by so doing i hope to improve and balance peoples diet
