Hello Hive, greetings from me to you all to brighten your day, happy and blissful new week to you all, hope all is well, the start of a dry season is just the beginning of work in my country, it's a season to clean up and hold plantation, weeding, depending on people's will, to harvest and replant.

A lot of African people believe in the dry season and the most important part of it is that when it is the dry season some of the plantation or crops will be dry and ready to be harvested, such as yams, cocoyam, sweet yam, water yam, even cassava, so that the farm will be cleared to weeding for replanting.

I planted some water yams early this year and they grew very healthy so being in the dry season all of them got dried and ready to harvest, Water yams needed a very comfortable place or garden, so I started harvesting them.

These water yams are of two types red and white, the one we normally plant is white, so these white ones are just like yams, a lot of people like planting the white ones, and I was so excited seeing them so big.

Talking about water yam and sweet yam, I don't joke with them because they are my favorite ones, even though we planted all the crops in our farmland there will be a special place kept for them, the place where they will produce very well, my Mom knows that eating water yam or sweet yam is the exciting moments in my life so planting ever year is the most of me, even though I forgot to plant other things I will not forget to plant them.

Harvesting the water yams was a great and sweet moment because seeing the production of them makes me so excited, and non of them got routed or spoiled, now that I'm harvesting them I will clear the weeds and replant new ones.

Thank you so much for reading through
