Hello friends, it is a pleasure to greet you and wish you much success in your daily activities, especially in field work, because I know that there are many colleagues here who like agriculture and country environments. I TELL YOU, that in the month of November last year, I started growing chives and until December 23rd it remained beautiful, its stems were very vigorous, I confess that I like to take care of my crops from the beginning. I start to the end and that's how I do it with my fruit trees.

Yes friends, I am always aware of my crops, I always try to comply with the fertilization plan in their different stages of development and in addition to this, I try to ensure that my plants do not lack their respective irrigations, since I consider that Caring for The plants influence the production and quality of the fruits.

I spent Christmas with my family and in 20 days of absence, the weeds invaded my chives

Yes, friends, 20 days were enough for the weeds to invade my scallion crops. I TELL YOU that on December 23rd I decided, like every year, to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve with my family in Puerto La Cruz, although I had told them that it was better to go to the countryside at the end of the year, because in reality I was looking after the crops although there was a person who was in charge of the irrigation and taking care of the house, but in the end we decided to stay in the apartment.

The truth, friends, is that the man I left taking care of the crops was only dedicated to irrigation. The times I called him on the phone he told me that everything was fine, but he never told me that the weeds are growing very fast.

I TELL YOU that on January 13th I returned to the farm and it gave me pain when I saw my onions full of bushes, I couldn't believe it, the plants were barely visible, and I immediately placed my hands on my head and said "It's my fault" and at the same time I remembered a phrase that my uncle used to say a lot: ***"Take care of your own, no one takes care of someone else's" ** *this phrase is very true, since we only know the sacrifice that is made to achieve things.

Look how I found the chive crop, "this is terrifying":

This is how this chive crop looked on December 23 of last year:

By December 23 of last year the plants were smaller but everything remained clean.

Now I'm going to clean the chives so that they recover:

Well friends, all is not lost, because chive plants are quite strong, the bad thing is that when the weeds are very high, the chive plants stretch and thin, as they go out to look for sunlight, but with a good fertilization. I'm going to get them back, now my nephew is going to help me clean them, the truth is I can't do this task, because I can't bend over, but my nephew is small and in about 3 days I think the onions should be clean.

Well friends, I think this will not happen to me again, the truth is I never thought I would find my chives full of tall weeds, I tell you that among the weeds you see in the image, there is a plant known by the name of "Pira", it is also known as pigweed, its scientific name is Amaranthus dubius, this plant is widely consumed in other countries, such as Asia, but here in Venezuela it is considered a weed, although we know that it contains many vitamins, i I dare to swear, that when this plant begins to be consumed in Venezuela, it will surely not grow wild anymore, hahaha...
