The waters might have been too late. There's a farmer in our village who has been depending on the food grown from his garden to feed his grand children. Unfortunately, when the drought came, it destroyed all his crops both the mature ones and the ones that are still maturing. We seek a way to support him with food for at least two months until he can be able o harvest from his garden again. Have you had people being affected that way over there?

A garden is more than one season. Good luck and may the waters reach you!

I like your perseverance towards creating life from such hot river plains. I believe you would have done something great if you had favourable climates and a large space. We're as well struggling to make our crops survive from the devastating drought that has already destroyed many gardens.

Every fruit I eat I stick the seed in soil and just see what grows from there. I live in a really hot river plain so not everything wants to grow here.

That's great . I will be happy to share updates. Am going to follow back such that I don't miss what you share. Did you grow some other food crops this time?
