HARVESTING MY MELON/EGUSI
Hello hivians,
The smile on my face is not just an ordinary one, the smile is what I tag "harvest smile"😃😃 yeah it's a win win for me today and also this week as I'll soon be uploading the harvest I made in my cassava farm. Stay tuned...
Today I'll be showing you guys the little harvest I made in my melon farm... (Here in Nigeria it's popularly known as Egusi)
in less than four months that I had plant my melon, today is the day I chose to harvest.
The time of harvest is a happy time for every Farmer, as it's the time to reap the reward of one's labour.
As I have posted in my previous post that I am a teacher posted to a rural area... so, I made the best use of the opportunity I have to quickly invest and dive into farming. And ever since I started, I have been enjoying my stay over here and also my little farm.
Special thanks to my students who help me in the harvesting process... The school would close for the term on Friday (29/07/2022) so I quickly seize the opportunity to plead to them so they could join me to harvest.
I could remember it's just like yesterday that I did the planting and now am harvesting... You need to see the smile on my face right now.
We use cutlass to break it into two and after that we place the open surface on the ground in order to make the melon come out of It's shell freely through heat and also placing the open surface on the ground would help to prevent our melon from pest like birds...
Hopefully in a week time, my melon should be ready.😃
Once again am happy to tell you that Agriculture is life. Invest!
Thanks for visiting my blog once again, see you next time.

🥴 don't deliver, bring it along
.
Hahahahaha 😃😃 okay no problem I will.
Better, I'm expectant.
In my place the world of agriculture is also very developed, both small and large plants.
Wow... That's good to hear. Thanks for stopping by dear friend.
You're welcome
Hehehe. Sholex.. My boss. You’re doing well.
Congratulations on your harvest.
I’ve always thought of planting melon, but sadly, I don’t know much about it.
My boss @justfavour am still a learner and a first timer in the game but I won't mind sharing my little idea.
Congratulations to you on your harvest.
The melon balls are big.
We use thick stick to hit ours here.
Then you cover it with leaves, and in just two days is ready.
Using knife is new to me, if I use a knife I will cut the melon seeds but it looks like yours is perfectly done.
You must be a pro with cutting it with knife.
Just curious
You don't cut any of the seeds by mistake?
Yeah you're right... We do make use of sticks too, you can use any of the two either cutlass or stick, anyone that's comfortable for you.
Am still a learner though but I have professionals that are showing me how to go about it.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Okay
You are welcome.
Your melon pod looks plump and fresh....
Congratulations dear.
Egusi soup don ready be that🙌🙌
Lol... Am telling you 😃😃 Egusi soup on point.
Thanks for stopping by.
You're welcome dear
