It's my first time of planting water leaf. Am so happy I did because I love vegetables so much. In the part of the country where I reside, water leaf's is being consumed on a daily basis. So, many use it as their sources of income. So, when I visited my sister last weekend, use told me that she will be going to check her water leaf harden to feel the beds and at the same time spray water on them due to the season we are onto now.

First, I left home with her son. On getting there, he started cutting the grown up water leaf's. Hahahaha, I was surprised when he told me that after cutting the water leaf's, we will use the Stem to fill the empty grounds.

While he was cutting the water leaf's, I take a closer look at the previous once they have planted and it was really doing good. Take a look at it with me.

According to my sister, after planting the water leaf's, it will be ready in tow weeks time. And if she continues to spray water on them, she will be making money from it every 2 weeks. Woaooah, that's sounds so great. Later, her eldest daughter joined me in planting the water leaf's. Though it's my first time but I did an excellent work.

Maize and cassava where also planted in the garden though I didn't really work on them. Thank goodness that their is a tap inside the garden. After planting, the kids does the work of spraying water to garden. And because of that, the water leaf's are growing every minute of the day looking so appetizing.

So, in my sister's garden, the water leaf's there are doing well. She and her children are giving it all it needs. After planting, my sister helped me cut some. I will be using it to make vegetable sauce.

Water leaf is an anti cancer and it also calms the blood including other health benefits. I love eating it how about you?

Oh really?? Water leaf is one of our best vegetables in Nigeria. It's normally used to prepare vegetable soup. Very lovely leaf that calms the blood. Thanks for your complement. I will strive to do more in my next post
