Hello my lovely family
How was your day, i hope it was fine and stressful.
We are in the season of harvesting and planting new crops so we are about to plant new crops so we have to havest the old cocoyams and plant new.
This is the season of planting, we went to the village to harvest some casava to make garri but as we get to the village there is this large garden in our compound which we plant only cocoyams on it, as we all know that there are a lot of manure in the garden around our environment so this manure make our cocoyams to grow and healthy, as we got home in the morning which was yesterday we were surprised seeing it dry so we postpone harvesting casava till next Saturday and we started harvesting the cocoyams.
This is my kids sister trying to keep it in a safe place
A lot of people waiting for this cocoyams to buy, this is very very good in our health but now a days a lot of people choose yam over cocoyam, 4 of our tenants have already asked if we have cocoyams we should sell for them, we travel back this morning keeping some in the village, selling some and traveled with many of them just to sell out some to our tenant and to others that want to buy.

Cocoyam is the natural food in our country for those that love it, i remember when i was in the school, my teacher tought us something about cocoyam, telling us that we should try and eat it so we asked about the health benefits of it and she told us that cocoyam possesses high nutritional values when compared with others like casava and yam, we substantial vitamins, minerals in proteinous content.
As a relatively known staple group in the underdeveloped and developed countries, it can save as a weaning food and its own leaves are sometimes used as vegetable for cooking.
After taking this back home this morning our tenants was already waiting for us, immediately we get home they just rush and pick it so like i was saying, cocoyam is really good in our health, we really benefits from this cocoyam.
