Vegetable garden

Garden is always beautiful, I have many garden I always vist which includes my mum own.

Tell about what crops or gardens you have grown or visited.

Planting maize and okoro

I have grown many crops, which include maize, okoro, potatoes, groundnut, sugar cane, orange tree, and Palm tree.
My mum's garden is very large, so we plant a lot of crops, including trees that are very commercial there.
This garden is my mum's garden, but I am the one that do all the planting because I love it.

What measures are taken for the diagnosis and prevention of various diseases?

I woke up one morning and found out that some insect had started eating my maize and other crops, some of the leaves turned yellow, and some were falling out, so with this, I was able to diagnose that my crops had been affected by diseases.

Preventive measures

1. Removing Infected Plant: Removing and destroying the crop parts that have been affected by the disease helps to prevent the spread of the disease.

2. Chemical control: In some cases, I always use fungicides to also control or prevent diseases from entering my crops.

3. Avoid overcrowding the plants: crowding creates a moist, and even favourable environment, and this will easily allow diseases to enter your crops.

4. Apply fertilizer to our crops when necessary: fertilizer makes our crops look healthy, and healthy crops can resist diseases better.

5. Soil treatment

Do you think your garden and crop can contribute to the economy? .Tell us about the size of your garden and the quality of your soil.

Sugar cane

My garden is just meant for my family alone, but we always sell some of our crops whenever our garden produces more.

This year I planted a lot of vegetables and maize in my garden, so I am going to sell them.

The soil quality is very good, but my garden is just for my family's needs only.
