You may remember last year when we planted our maize crop in November … well according to my sources, if you have a well irrigated crop area than it is possible to harvest two crops of maize in 1 season. Because we have a good bore water system running under Willow Park and our pump delivers more that enough water to irrigate the crop we are going to go for it. It will be great to get double the crop size this season without having to expand our garden area. We are in the process of setting up traps for the wild pig so that they cannot destroy our crop this year … if we can catch 4 or 5 pigs then we will be able to send them to the abator and we will be able to have meat to feed the girls at Samkele for one meal each week for the whole year.
We are trying something new this year!!!

Good-luck with catching the pig, good to hear the chickens are starting to lay enough eggs.
You’ll have to put up a photo of the trap once it’s all put together.
