A dead hot pepper plant.
It is a reviving period.
Yes, it is a survival period for the crops to attain their lost nutrient during the rainy season.
In terms of season, I believe that from June to August do pay farmers in general in West Africa.
I was bothered lately as the planted crops' growth rates were very poor. Some plant's leaves went from green to brown, while others dried up and died.
Hot pepper plant leaves colour turning brownish.
The winter/dry season lasted from November to March and during this time, I lost some of the planted crops such as cocoyam, and hot bell pepper, some just sprouting cassava, and vegetables.
I could not maintain the harsh weather conditions which was a slap on my face being a farmer and should know better.
The lackadaisical attitude to maintenance which is not a healthy practice affected all the crops on the farmland and they could not produce to expectancy.
Good to see it is a rainy period and all the plants are now restored to healthy ways.
I should consider the rain as an advantage though the weed growth rate will also multiply.
Cocoyams are back to healthy ways.
This will make me reason regular weeding of the farmland as quickly as possible.
I have noticed that the plants have adequate water supplies as their leaves are now fresh and green.
Jute marrow plants doing well.
African garden egg vegetables.
Cassava plants growing to prime.
For this to happen, the rain will have helped dissolve nutrients in the soil, making them more accessible to plant roots, looking at how firm the plants are standing.
Yams growing perfectly.
The rain has helped improve soil structure and health, promoting better root growth and aeration and Consistent water availability naturally supports the optimal growth conditions, potentially leading to higher yields.
Luckily, I am not in a swampy area or other land textures that might take up erosion in case of excessive downpours.
Crops such as yams, cassava, cocoyam, jute mallow, African garden egg leaves, Saint leaves and others have boomed up growing to their prime.
Fresh saint leaves plant.
Walking through betterment!!!
