Hi. Where do I enter for Farmer Of The Year?
The rotten tomato we threw here is an example of "They buried me but I was a seed"

I might as well set up a new IG Page to share farming advice.
On a serious note though, this lockdown has made me so aware of how we can reduce poverty through growing our own food, despite lack of land.

Not everyone must go commercial. Through a small neighbourhood program, u can get access to different types of vegetables and/or fruits
This tomato is in what used to be a flower planter. Next to it we have old tyres.
We got a supply of butternuts from the tyres for some time. And the morogo too.
My sisters plant different things throughout the year.
There's a pineapple underneath the tomato, at some point it will be moved to a permanent place (I think)
Our neighbours gave us naartjies and lemons.
Sadly this year their avocado tree only produced ONE avocado. One one one. E tee to ka monwana.
My parents harvested some teeth challenging mielies earlier this year and sweet pomegranate.
Oh! Then there's sweet potatoes. If your manicure allows.
Nna ge go epiwa dipotata ke Phela ke eba busy
I planted two mango trees ka weekend.
This week I will plant oranges, procrastination allowing of course.
I want carrots but they also require digging 😞😞😞
For now I will stick to the ones above the ground.
Orange tree in. Fresh orange juice in a year or so.
There's a man here in Lebowakgomo that sells dimelwana/seedlings from his van for R1.50-R2 each.
Onions, beetroot, turnips, green pepper.
He's right next to Mohlapa Garage, on the way to Zone F. #FarmingTwitter
I bought onions & beetroots yesterday. Will plant them in a tyre today.
Humble beginnings.
Meanwhile these tomatoes continue to grow. 😍
Found two more tomatoes
The onions are doing quite well. Beetroots are taking their sweet time.
There's potatoes growing there in the mix. One tyre, three vegetables. I hope they can grow together.
Now must plant chillies.
Today's big assignment is this one.
Two mango trees were growing off one pip. Today I moved one to a new location. Hope it survives.
