Homesteading: Okra (Lady Finger) Sexual Health Dividends, Farm Observation, and Suggestions
Hello Homesteaders, today I will be talking about the observation I gathered from a friend's Okra farm but we still need to understand that Okra is a very special kind of vegetable for cooking of delicious soup and also very nutritious for the body system. Okra is very rich in calcium, potassium, vitamins, folic acid, and many more that can keep the body and its immune fresher and healthy.
Okra is one of the fastest growing crops across Africa and some other parts of the world because it doesn’t require much capital to venture into the farming business and doesn’t also require much care after being planted just like most other crops do but you can weed your okra farm just one to two times before harvest.
Looking at some vital health benefits of Okra:
There are a lot of health benefits associated with consuming okra but I will be looking into that men's and women's sexual benefits.
In men, when you consume okra at a point in time and you really want it to be effective in your sexual life what you have to do is boil or fry some Okra and after that, you will have to add some butter and stir very well for consumption. You can also decide to add milk or honey if you don’t like butter. By the time you did this and take it for some time, your sexual life will improve significantly as your erection will be completely balanced.
In women, Okra contributes positively to one of the most important aspects of women’s health life maintenance which is menstrual cycle management. If a woman is having serious bleeding during her menstrual cycle, Okra vegetable can help reduce that by the time you try to soak some okra in a glass cup by adding water to it but if you want it very fast, you will have to open some holes from the okra before you can put them in a glass cup. After that allow for about 12 to 24hrs, then drink what you see inside the glass cup but you will have to drink it for weeks to stop the bleeding and give you a better sexual life completely.
Okra farm observations:
Early this morning, a friend of mine asked me to help him check his okra farm because I told him that I will be checking mine. When I got to his farm, I noticed that he planted a lot of okra, they all looked very tall but there were no fruits yet to see. I also noticed that most of the okra leaves were almost eaten up by some flying insects known as beetles. These observations on my friend's Okra farm never made me happy because I know that money was used for the planting.
When I came back from the farm this morning, I asked my friend why his Okra keep growing tall, and yet no fruit to see, my friend told me that the Okra he was opportune to plant is a climbing okra specie that takes a long time to produce.
My suggestions for my friends Okra farm:
After my friend's explanation about his Okra farm, I told him that he can actually prune the okra from the top side to enable them to grow from the side and also for enough seed to be produced. When you prune climbing okra, it will also help them live well without rain or wind to fall them.
I also suggested to my friend that kaolin clay mixed in a spraying gallon can also help most of the okra grow healthy by making the beetles that eat them up stay away from its leaves.
