Hello and welcome to your favorite Farmer on Steemit daily diary.

Today like usual I woke up at exactly 6am by God's Grace and I left for our family daily morning devotion which usually take up to thirty minutes.

After praising and thanking God, I went to continue my daily chores; first was washing the cars and at 7am I was done,

I went on with sweeping and washing of dishes then I washed my clothes before having my breakfast of yam and stew around 8am after that I headed to the farm.

After much rainfall last night being Sunday, we agreed to go spray the farm today with Herbicides, for those that don't know what herbicide is, herbicide is a chemical that is toxic to plant, so before planting we spray the herbicide to kill the weed (unwanted plant). This Spraying was done to kill the grasses and enable us start planting of Cassava, Maize, Melon and Okro.

At the Farm, we put one Load of herbicide into the sprayer and mixed it with twenty liters of water then started Spraying, this one load can last for fifteen minutes and after that we refilled and sprayed again.

One container of the herbicide gave us ten loads (at 150ml measurements).

We started Spraying at 10am and at 12noon we were done, we rested and had our lunch (garri and moi moi) in the farm.

We reached home around 1pm , I had my bath, while resting and thinking about my life, I slept off only to wake up at 5pm.

I went out at 5:30pm to buy fuel for my generator and at 6:30pm, my generator was on and I watched a movie (Zack Snyders Justice League)
for four good hours and the generator went off around 10:45pm because the fuel had finished and I logged in to Steemit to check for notifications and to post my dairy, sadly no notification but here is my diary.

And also I want to thank everyone of you for your votes in less than a month of me joining this platform, I have acquired a new mobile phone with better camera (as you can see my pictures are clearer).
