My Crops are doing quite well...I started planting prior to the imposed lockdown and restrictions of movements in my country and region.

2 months old Cassava plant captured on camera on my phone.

That's me in action...I had some sores turned bruises on my palms after completing today's work.
Quite hectic I must admit but we just had to toil the soil to get food...

I changed my work tool here and used a Shovel instead of a Hoe.

Shovels makes digging ridges faster and less stressful. I never knew that until today after experimentation.

With Shovel, I was just working and an originally initial hectic became interesting for me.

Following this, I made more ridges when I changed my tool to a Shovel.

Bananas are very pronounced in my community
I love the broad leaves which are often multipurpose in usage here..

This is how I plant Cassava on my already made ridges
It is usually 3 in a ridge
