Hello Hive,

Good morning to all my friends and family in hive
Happy new month to us all
This month shall favour us all

What do you envision when you think about growing potatoes? Do you imagine seed tubers nestled in the soil, patiently waiting to sprout?

Often, the primary source of the plant is overlooked during harvest, and bystanders may hardly realize that it will eventually lead to the potato tubers we enjoy so much.

The vines, which we frequently disregard, are essential for multiplying our harvest when we make the most of them. These vines were collected from my backyard, as it’s challenging to preserve them on the farm during the dry season.

Typically, we take some vines and plant them in our home garden, where we can easily monitor their growth and their well being and keep them fresh and vibrant.
Once the vine is in the soil we need consistent rainfall to make sure that the vines don't dry up before germination, it is essential to keep the ground wet at this period either naturally or through irrigation

This is how we do it and await the progress of the farm

We just pray that we have enough rain to water the plant
