The dry water leaf before watering them
Yesterday morning I decided to visit my sister's water leaf garden again with her. Just like she said, it's money during this period of the year because many has left the garden or farming weting for raining season. So, we get water from the nearby borehole to water the the garden. I made use of bucket and sieve to water the newly planted areas so that it won't uproot from the soil because it's root is not other strong. While watering the garden with my sister, the husband stood behind gisting us.
A total of 20 gallons of water was poured on the water leaf garden. From there, we left to the house for change up and took our breakfast before visiting the next garden where we cut some water leaf's stem for a fresh planting.
Cutting water leaf stem under hot sun
After cutting the water leaf's stem with my sister, we decided to plant it that same day. Because she really needs my assistance now that am around. Because of that I couldn't say no. I actually confirmed the fact that this leaf is money because poeple were coming to buy from her while we were in the garden.
While on the new farm, the soil is nice but was dry to the weather we are into now. So, my nephew fetch water from the tap around which his mom used to water the soil. After that, my sister till the soil and get it prepared before we commence planting.
As you can see, my sister has prepared the water leaf's bed very well before I start planting while my nephew who is my sister's son took pictures of me. I and him including the mother planted a full bucket of water leaf's which took us just 2 hours to complete the planting. This time, I had to sit down while planting to avoid waist pain.
The once I planted and the total of what we planted before retiring home. I will be updating you guys about our next visit to the garden because we still have a lot to do there.
