abdul-rakib (76)Verifiedin Nature & Agriculture • 6 days ago

Today we will finish irrigating and fertilizing the corn field of our plot, InshaAllah. We will come to the field this morning with my elder brother. We went to the field in the morning with our machine from that house and set the machine, started the machine, set the pipe and started irrigating. Ayaz is fasting from the next day, the 18th, so we will finish the irrigation work in this corn field today. I have not eaten this morning either.

I started the machine and came to the shop with the water line. Today I returned with two packets of biscuits and one packet of chanachoor. We had breakfast with those biscuits together. The water line is laid in the field, today's beds are big, so it takes time. In the neighboring field, a person is pulling a plow with his own hands to plant nuts due to the lack of a cow. He is pulling a plow with small furrows to help him, and a few children are planting almond seeds behind him.

I went to our potato field, next to the corn field. It was time to harvest the potatoes, but the size of the potatoes still seemed small. I dug the soil in a few places and looked. In the meantime, my brother was bringing me food, rice roti with cow dung. I sat in the aisle of the field and ate my breakfast. Today I told my brother about the size of the potatoes and they decided to irrigate the next day and give urea.

Since noon, we have been irrigating the last field of our land there. Meanwhile, the worker is applying fertilizer to the previous field. I have started arranging the remaining pipes and other equipment by laying a line in the field closest to the machine. I will have to return with the machine only after the irrigation of this land is finished.

Water is flowing in the field very close to the machine, so I am arranging the other pipes and taking them to the van when it arrives. My work pressure today is low and the amount of land is small, so the worker is applying fertilizer alone. I left the machine running and went home and ate lunch. As soon as I arrived, I turned off the machine and took everything apart from the machine. We brought the machine and placed it on the side of the road. I told the worker to finish applying fertilizer and return home. I am looking around the corn field and see that some corn plants have insects and have eaten holes in the leaves. We need to spray pesticides on them very soon.

From tomorrow onwards, it is the month of Ramadan. We have to have Sehri tonight. We have to do shopping for Ramadan. We two brothers went to the market and went to the fish market and bought a big fish from there and we cut this fish. My brother went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and spices. Today, the price of vegetables is a bit high. After finishing the market, we came to the fruit shop. We will buy some fruits for iftar. First of all, Amkra bought dates. We are back home and preparing for the fast. At night I prayed Tarawih in our mosque. I am finishing today's prayer, may Allah preserve me.
