What we do at the tail end of okra harvest
Hello Everyone
To our friends, families and acquitances onchain we are glad to step into another new week together and I will be happy to connect with everyone in the new week with newer vibes and energy. I do hope that we will make the best use of the week and have a very productive one in the end.
If you live around Ilorin town you most likely will have eating from our okro here. It was harvested on several occasions and sold at the main market here. Different people purchases from the farmer and sold them to their communities.
The foods we grow are not often only eating by us and if you are privilege to have purchased some of these kinds of food from the market be rest assured that you are eating some quality foods from us
The good news is that foods grown by myself and other farmers in this community are often healthy as we take cognisance of many factors to ensure that we do not use excessive chemicals and fertilizers to grow our foods.
I cant remember blogging about addition of fertilizers to this okro, the soil has been good and we have made some good harvest from here.
We have finally come to the tail end of the harvest and all you can see are some skinny stems without leaves, the leaves have fallen off after they have provide us with enough foods. Harvest has been continuous for a couple of times
The once vegetative farm has now been reduced to just stems and a few okro on each.
What we do at the tail end of harvest is to either allow the few okro left on the stems to produce seeds that will be needed for next session farming.
If you preserve some seeds especially if they are some quality specie of seeds you can use them in subsequent plantings. Poor plants producing poor yield cannot be kept and preserved as seeds.
For this very one here we would be taking care of it and allow it to go through a drying process in which they can then be preserved as seeds for next planting.
