Hello beautiful hivers,it's another beautiful moment at my garden when I decided to check on it.
I don't like farming but trust me when it comes to backyard farm I do enjoy doing it.
Here we have scent leaves. I so much like this leave that was the reason that makes me plant it. It is good for the health. Over here, we use it to cure cold and cattarh. We also use it to prepare delicious food like rice, stew, porridge and pepper soup.
This other one is called lemon grass. It is also good for the health. It is used to cure cold and cattarh as well and can also be used to make some tea.
We call this vegetable plant 'Hospital is far from home.' We believed that it brings blood to the body system. For instance, when someone runs out of blood instend of rushing him or her to the hospital, we squeeze it for the person to drink the water or we cook beans porriage with it for the patient.
This is pepper plant. To me,, cooking without pepper is as if cooking food without Maggi/spices because it makes it taste delicious. Although eating pepper a lot do cause chest pain, it doesn't stop us from eating it.
Here is a Tomato plant. It is also one of my favorite plant. Having tomatoes around you is really a wonderful thing, Like having your fresh tomatoes stew, egg sauce, and fried rice.
We also have beans plant. We do plant it during August and harvest it ending of November or early December. However, due to lack of rain this season, the beans is somehow delaying. Although we are hoping for a good harvest.
And finally, this is Gunea-corn plant. It is very useful to us because we use it in different ways. We use it to make pap, grooel which the Hausas call it kunu. It can also be used to make Tombrown.
Do have a lovely day.
