It is yet another beautiful day on the earth and we are grateful to see the light of the new day. The brief festive season as been a relaxing one for us as we didn't work on the farm much but have only gone to check on a few things and then came back to join our community in enjoying the holiday. Knowing fully well that there are still cattkea and goats enroute in this place and grazing upon fields that are yet to be cultivated, adequate care has to be taken to prevent them from grazing on our farms directly.
Yesterday I noted some infection among the veggies most especially the fluted pumpkins. This is one of the challenges that comes with growing vegetables. You have to be mindful of infectiona as they can be deadly to distort growth and reduce the yield of vegetables. Infections are a common thing among vegetables.
They come with varying symptoms, some of which begins with a change in coloration which then leads to withering but others comes in different dimention of patches on the leaves. Some patched may be due to insects that hops and feeds on vegetable and while these insects do so, they may also drops pest on the leaves that cause further disease.
Some infection can among veggies can cause this form of distortion while other cause the leaves of veggies to begin to fall off
Even though we have just observed this, plans are being made already to get insect repellents and pesticide that can be applied to prevent further spread. Infections spread very rapidly and similar infection can affect different vegetables such that as it is like this, the infection here can spread to other parts of the farm in the shortest time possible.
We have different types of vegetables here including the lettuce that had just been planted which are not to distant away from each other. And as these least affect different crops different, it is only ideal to stop any already as soon as possible. Lettuce may not be able to survive much when they get infected compared to fluted pumpkins here that their vegetables looks a bit stronger. Besides no one will be interested in eating unhealthy or infected vegetables.
