My Little Home Grow

INTRODUCTION

Farming is more of being practical than a theoretical approach. Even if the farming were to be done on a small portion of land, there is an immediate application its practical practices. To highlight how practically based farming is, there are farmers who never went to school to learn farming, but they have been productive farming for years. The point I'm trying to make here is that, farming is done by both the learned and unlearned, and could be done in the little empty space at the backyard.

The Small Garden In My Home

I am glad and would always be glad to be a farmer. Even if it were to in its smallest scale, It is an interesting practice to be engaged in.

I make use of every empty small spaces in my home to plant different types of crops. In the spaces I have, I plant a number of crops like:

• Cassava
• Maize
• Melon
• Vegetables
• Yam etc.
  I plant these crops and vegetable varieties directly into the ground in their little proportions within my home.

The Tools Needed To Grow A Fruitful Crop From Seed To Crop

Every Farmer has farming tools. It could be machines depending on how large the farm land is. The tools could also be a crude type of tool which the smaller farmers use. For me, I make use the crude tools to plant and grow my crops from start to finish.

Some of the tools that the tools that the small scale farmers like me could use include:

• How
• Shovel
• Cutlass
• Take
• Watering pipe
• Trowel
  These are the farm implements or tools that I use to grow my crops from start to finish.

How I Have Benefited From The Crops I Have Managed To Grow So Far

There are numerous benefits of being a farmer. To be precise, currently the harvesting of vegetables (pumpkin leaves) leaves have started. I planted the crop and now, I am harvesting the leaves. I am benefiting from this in two ways namely:

• I sell some of the leaves to make money

• I get some of the leaves from the farm to prepare my meals.

As it stands now, I don't need to go to the market to by vegetable. Planting this crop have saved me some costs.

The Most Popular Plants To Grow In n My Area And How Long They Take To take To Produce

There are a number of well known crops produced in my area. One of such crops is maize. Maize planting start s March when the rains are beginning to soften the ground. Harvesting or production likely starts from 70 days and above. Unless if the farmer wants harvest the corn wet, he or she may wait a little longer like 90 days above after planting
