In the previous posts on Mr. Chatama‘s English cucumber project, we showed you his beginning, the preparation of the greenhouse, and the young plants, and some fundamental information about the cucumbers.  Last we showed you some of the most common pests and diseases that Mr. Chatama must be on his guard against.  Now we will talk about the care for the English cucumbers.    Cucumbers grow best in well-drained, light-textured soils high in organic matter, and have a pH of 6 – 6.8.  When the pH is too low, you may add ground calcitic limestone to the soil to bring up the pH [...]

I am honored to present to you Mr. Lawrence and his Fresh Fields Community project. Fresh Fields is located in the Mwandi District of the Western province of Zambia.  The project started in April 2020 when Zambia, along with the rest of the world, went on lockdown due to Covid-19.  The objective of the project was to teach farming skills to young boys and girls.  The project started with 8 children but the community quickly became interested in the project and after the lockdown, 10 more children joined.  Now there are 28 children involved in the project, 17 boys and 11 [...]

We are already familiar with Mr. Lawrence and his Fair Field project.  But what inspires one person to dedicate his time and effort to teach children about farming? Mr. Lawrence was an unemployed teacher when in early 2020 he found himself without a job due to the Covid-19 lockdown.  In order to maintain himself and his family, Mr. Lawrence moved to dedicate himself full time to farming on land he owned.  Still, being a teacher, his calling was to teach, and when he noticed so many children affected by the lockdown, without school or any direction, he started to invite them to [...]

Setting goals is a process.

For each category, work your items into 1 – 3 goals. Make sure you do not have more than 10 [...]

BUDGET 2023! Last week I asked if you had set you goals for 2023.  Now you have had a week to complete the goals, but my next question is if you have set a budget for 2023?  Even if you have not set budget for the whole year, did you set budget for January 2023? Just as setting goals, creating a budget is a process.  In fact, there are several ways to create the budget, but here is a process that is not overly complicated and easy if you have never done this before.   Your budget is essentially a list of expected income [...]
