Good evening hivers, I am a newbie and this is my first time posting here and i am super excited to be here. Hope im welcomed. I want to take you all on a journey on how i grow my vegetable ( pumpkin) farm.
It all started when i was staying with my parents, farming is what we do for a living. The joy of going to your farm to get some fresh vegetables anytime you need it, is something that i can not forget. I grow up and continued in that routine, where ever i live, i make sure i prepare a space for my vegetable farm. It has become what i enjoy doing.
For me farming is a passion, but it has its own challenges. Fast forward to how i grow my vegetable farm this year and the lessons i learnt through it. This year was so challenging, i invested a lot of money into buying seeds severally, dreaming of a bountiful harvest, unfortunately many of the seeds did not sprout. At some point, i became frustrated and heartbroken to watch my efforts, time and money go to waste. I checked, i had prepared the space, i sow the seeds carefully, i deed everything i was supposed to do, and yet i just wasted my efforts. I began to imagine what could be the problem, is it poor quality seeds, improper storage, or poor soil conditions? That, i didn't fully understand at that time.
But instead of giving up, i choose to learn. I started asking other farmers questions, and experimenting in small portions. I began to test seed visibility before planting. I also looked into the best soil preparation methods and how to control pest and diseases naturally. Slowly things started to improve.
I also realised the importance of sourcing seeds from reputable suppliers. That changed everything. Now i pay close attention to the variety of seeds, their germinating rate, and how suitable the are for my soil type.
Farming has taught me patience and resilience. Every mistake has made me better. Today my vegetable farm is growing not just in size, but in quality. It's still a learning process, but i am proud of how far i come.
To anyone going through similar struggles, dont give up. Farming is not easy, but it is rewarding. With time, knowledge, and the right practices, things will get better just like they did for me.
Thanks for stopping by, i really appreciate you all.
