Success: cassava planting part 2

So it's not so me to complain if rusty visits or not until I made such great efforts and recieve nothing form him. Well, this is not a rant or something but this is not a day for me in read: I mistakenly tipped 2 dollars earlier today and it was something I had worked hard upon, then came the notifications that I needed to add funds to those whom I have been sponsoring. Well, this is life, and it does not give you what you expect, so what yo expect? Haha. By the way, I am grateful to have awaken in the middle of the night to finish this draft sitting and waiting to be published. Have you checked crypto price recently? It's way past 7 thousand pesos and I think it's good. I hope it will continue to go higher, congratulations in advance to those who have lots of ipon in thier wallets.

My sister came home today along with her family; I'm happy to have them but I got busy and has nt faced them yet, might as well do it in the morning.

So here's the part of my cassava planting experience. I remembered I was not able to share about our plating last April. My father-in-law went away to Lanao at that time to heal his wound from his failure of planting corn.

He was so discouraged of spending too much but earning a little from his farm. He asked his son, my husband to till the land because his other son was farming o his father in laws' farm too, and Ate Inday works in a pineapple factory and does not have interest in farming.

After we just had out lunch, I washed the plates ans the utensils and proceed to washing the sweet potatoes in preparation for cooking. These were given to us ams what my husband was carrying on his shoulder on my previous article.

I just washed half of the sweet potatoes and cooked. I asked my husband to chop firewood for me and stuffed it on the burner so it will never run out of fire while I will be away helping with them.

I was the last one to go, my mother is still not able to install comfort room in the farm so peeing is a problem for women. I remembered she already had two attempts and had digged holes for it; maybe she lacked funding.

Passing through the gauavas again, this Time, I took pictures of the fallen fruit and the young ones

And on a rotten bamboo, an orange mushroom is residing. It is so cute that I had to take pictures on lots of angles. It is just an inch long

Then I came across this interesting stone:it's got a hole on its side and it's amazing. It could have been a nature's work and design but I heard that long ago, Japanese soldiers were camping on the site and they had chemicals with them that can melt the stones and make art with them designing rocks into interesting surfaces. Have you heard of those stories in your place?

Since I have done a few rows, I got tired and rested for a while by looking around te greenery. Japanese tulip trees are in bloom giving the greens a hint of color that made the scene look better. It was so bright at that time that I was taking chance in taking pictures because the preview is not so good

Then another guava tree. This time the fruits are as just small and they have a distinct taste.

I wo der who could have done this to teh fruit while still on the tree? It doesn't seem like a bird's doing.

I hevwn jad taken a good view of the slope with the guava tree on

What s more interesting is that the guava tree grew in between the split of the rock. Take a close look at its roots.

After we finished the upper part, my husband and I proceeded to where others were and when we got to the end of the row, my husband too two lengths of sugar cane from the adjacent field and shared the snack with us. Look at him not worrying about his dentures.

He showed me his skill on peeling the sugar cane like a PANDA. The sugar canes have been planted over two years already while the maturity takes only one year. I wonder what the owner might be thinking about it, maybe he forgot he planted them?

Look at that, what a strong jaw he had. I asked him to peel some for me but raw cane sugar tastes different from sugar and I like sugar better

I was so tired already, my body got shocked of the work it had because back in the office, I was just sitting fro the whole day. I excused myself and made the coffee time the reason;I told my husband it was time to boil water for coffee.

When I arrived at the top of the slope, I toom this picture; I guess the area planted is nearly an hectare or so.

I took my time walking back to the house. I pause here and there to take pictures. Good thing the wind took the dark clouds away earlier but a new one came to set. I got a vast view of the sorroundings, I just wish my camera can show it all to you.

That's the buntong bamboo that we planted over ten years ago.my parents and I bought the young plant somewhere near Malaybalay area when we went to my sisters place

Then I found these holes on the ground. Do you know what are these? Take a guess!

Thuer are rat holes and it means rats can be inside them now. There are still lots of cassava around that can serve as their food and they multiplied.

Finally, I arrived at the House and boiled water

I got lots of time, the signal us weak in this part so photography would be my past time. Loloy positioned his daro upright and fed his chattel on the grassy part; he was there with my husband helping. This and the cattle is his living.

That's the cattle on the grassy part.

Lovely view for me, too bad the mountains are not so visible

That's Mount Kitanglad over there with less clouds covering it

They went to the house after they are done and we had chats while having coffee.

That's my husband entertaining them.

The got filled and tummiewd warmed

We called it successful and went home at 4:30.

That's my husband bringing back the sweet potato.

It was a tiring day but the thought that we are through the toughest part gave us relief and lifted our spirits. We thanked God for the success and my mother too.
