Hello Hive

How fast the days run runs this season, whenever you have so much to do it is always as if the time runs faster than it used to.
Everyday is a day of farm work and there is always more and more work to be fine.
It is either we are weeding, cultivating, planting or addressing a challenge in one crop or the other.

Here is the massive harvest growth have achieved with the lettuce. You won't believe that they are just about 3weeks old for them to have grown this much. I have mentioned it before that these lettuce takes about 6weeks for it to be ready for consumption and the plant didn't prove mw wrong by growing so fast.

We have been here yesterday to check on the growth of these lettuce to see if it needs weeding or any growth issue to be addressed.

Following the this massive growth progress here is what you should learn from our lettuce growth.
The process of growing lettuce us as easy as anything.

You start by getting the most quality soil which is an important factor. Judging from the growth of our lettuce here and how we have not added any fertilizers you can see why that is important.

If the soil is not fertile enough, one can chose to treat it with manual or animal dungs some few months prior to planting.

Animal dungs should not and never be added to growing vegetable like this and all vegetables that will be eating directly after harvest. To avoid intestinal worm and digestive sicknesses. The soil can be prepared and well fertilized before planting

Adequate water both rainfall and irrigation should be on standby, lettuce needs lots of water to survive especially at the primary stage when it has just being transplanted.

We have carried out a first weeding exercise on this farm and the next one will come up shortly, this is to say that grasses shouldn't be allowed to choke the farm even at the slightest bid. With all of these in place ans a quality seedlings if lettuce you will be assured of an excellent product and harvest at the end.
