Greetings!
After the last time I checked on my little garden, I hadn't been up and doing with it because I needed to get pepper seedlings to plant there. According to market records, seedlings can't be gotten now because the season has passed. We can only plant it by its main seed, which is not common. It is very hard to buy a pepper in the market that will germinate when planted. I've bought many times, planted them, and didn't see them germinate.
So with all these issues, I lost interest in checking on the space for a couple of days. I went there yesterday and found it bushy. The grasses were growing as if they were under the influence of added manure or fertilizer. They looked so green and flourishing. The yam plant was almost covered with grasses, as well as the pumpkin that was growing there.
"So this was just for some days I left it unattended to?" I questioned as I stood staring at the space. The last time I checked, I cleared some of the big grasses.
Well, I had to clear them off.
Even though I'm still yet to get seeds to plant and make good use of the space, leaving the place bushy is never an ideal thing. I wasn't with a cutlass, so I began to pull the grasses off with just my hands. Even as the grasses were grown, they were very easy to pull out. I didn't have difficulty pulling them off.
Although I didn't clear all because rain started drizzling while I was doing so, I decided to go back tomorrow to attend to it.
My quest to get seeds and seedlings to plant continues. It's very bad that this city doesn't do farming, so it is very hard to come across these things easily.
Thanks for reading.
