Hello Hive

This is where we get our daily supply of oranges right from the tree in our compound here. Most people believe that it is difficult to grow fruits especially the ones that their life cycle takes very long days to produce their fruits.
Well if we were taught how to grow fruits at our teenage years, before we can get to adulthood we would have grown grown a handful of useful useful trees by now.

We must not forget that we need fruits and vegetables for our classes of meals to be complete. Except for now that we have some biannual fruits that takes at least 2 years to give us some fruits, alot of patience is needed when growing fruits. We have to be willing to wait for the number of years it will take for these fruits to produce.
So if you are craving to have some fruit trees in your garden or around your house, the best time to plant those trees is now.

The benefits of growing these healthy fruits cannot be overemphasized. This singular tree of orange has produce alot of fruits in their thousands this year. A whole lot of people have been flooding the compound to have their own share of the fruit. This made me realize just how much people love to take fruits but they are unwilling to undergo the labour of growing them.

It is very important to take healthy fruits and avoid every artificial sweetener and chemicals that can cause harm to our health. While some of these fruits are yet to get ripen, neighbors have been harvesting the unripe ones and processing them at home. They hasten the ripening process so that they can sell of part of the oranges for money gain. You can see just how much fruits this tree has produce that people are even selling out of its fruits. A single ball of orange here is sold for $0.07 as fruits are equally getting expensive here. Making this tree like one golden tree in the middle of the compound here.

I wonder what they often use to hasten the ripening process of these fruits, if at all we are going to be taking fruits, it's good to ensure that the fruits are healthy for our health. This part of the world care less about quality control and this has been the reason why alot of people are coming down with illnesses. While the market is corrupt with my chemically produced food, here is a gentle reminder that you can grow some healthy fruits for your family and have it available all year round.

Nice one. you have just raised a very important observation. While fruits are meant to promote good health, the method of harvesting and processing also matters a lot. Harvesting unripe fruits and forcing them to ripen with artificial means can reduce their nutritional value and may even pose health risks. It’s understandable that people are trying to make money, especially with the rising cost of food, but our health should always come first..
Good piece ma'am.

!BBH I am looking forward to harvesting rhubarb next year that I grew from seed this year. Planning ahead pays off later. I also planted some garlic I got from my sister. Both crops will keep multiplying for years.
