From my previous post for the pasy couple of days now, i have been more invested and focused on making the best use of a small water body close to my fato make dry season farming possible for myself.
Waiting to farm after the dry season can be a very boring wait in a way so the best thing I felt like doing is to go into a bit of irrigation system of farming π§Ί to keep myself busy before the rain π§οΈ comes again
I have focused on some few crops like okra which I have talked about here https://hive.blog/hive-150280/@zion-francis/okra-abelmoschus-esculentus-a-little-water-retention-experiment-on-a-farm
This is my small cucumber π₯ farm which is 4weeks old presently
There is actually an interesting back story as to why I chose to plant cucumber π₯ even though I have never tasted it in my entire existence π. Few weeks ago a friend bought some of this fruit from the market and offered me one and I subtly rejected it telling him I don't eat cucumber π₯ and then for some reasons he started going on and on about it and how that it taste good and all. Well I didn't bulge but was smiling and saying no to the cucumber π₯. Then he went on to talk about some of its health benefits...
First thing he said to me was that it helps to manage someone's blood sugar, I didn't see that coming and he could see the surprise on my face so he continued by telling me that cucumber π₯ has high level of vitamin k which strengthen the bone, and it also helps the body in terms of hydration. Mind you my friend is a doctor
The hydration part was one I was keen on reason been that it's dry season and we tend to get easily dehydrated.
Although he wasn't able to convince immediately to eat it as I am not much of a foodie π, but i was convinced enough to plant it in my farm ππ
So here I am six weeks in having a cucumber π₯ farm to take care of. Maybe just maybe my first taste of cucumber π₯ will be from my own farmπ
Thank you guys for taking out time to read this post. Have a great week π
