Climate change is real

[Billy_Drago]

I recently traveled upcountry like any other season of the year to prepare land for this years production. To my surprise, I noticed some abnormalities.

1. The region is too green for the month of February meaning it has been raining.
2. I usually do the 2nd ploughing in late February but this year, the farm has been too slippery even for my 4 wheel tractors, I was forced to stop since it was more of compacting the soil than loosening it.
3. Finally, naturally growing edible mushrooms are usually available from mid to late March but this time round, I found several in the farm. I uprooted a few yesterday for evidence purposes.

So are we receiving more rain or less?

1. Nilichimba shimo zangu to plant my perennial crop in December hoping that in March nitazifunika nipande May. I had to close the hole yesterday because mvua was destroying the hole. Now I’m worried about the roots penetration once 2 years are over because i sealed the holes early.

2. I depend on drought stress for my flowers to blossom in April. Now the drought hasn’t been long enough to prolong the stress. Now I’m expecting small harvest this year.

Climate change is real folks.

Holes dug in January

Emergency sealing in February

If the walls of those holes cracked during the short dry season, then you are very safe coz roots penetration will be smooth and also the soil pathogens were killed by the heat.
