    Trudy, I’m not sure plants will survive without sunlight. Covering them all day with cardboard may not be the best idea. I think you should plant them in small pots /containers 🫙 and shelter them maybe on your patio/ veranda and then when they are more established, you can transplant it into the garden. Also watch some gardening videos on UA-cam for more ideas. All the best.

    FYI: Miss Trudy, Light soup isn’t the same as pepper soup from Nigeria. Even though the woman told you in the beginning that they aren’t the same, you kept calling it pepper soup. Light soup is vegetable based soup while Nigerian pepper is dry spice based soup. Ghana doesn’t call light soup pepper soup.

    Hi Trudy. I'm from Trinidad 🇹🇹. My two favorite Ghanian dishes are Kinkey (fermented cornmeal) and Peanut soup (cooked without Magi). Be sure to check with your dad's Nephrologist before giving him any food. Generally, I find most African foods are high in potassium, sodiun, protein, and sugars ... which are usually monitored in kidney conditions. Continue to take care of your dad. You are a loving and caring daughter. Sending Trini love 🇹🇹.

      @edwardavee, you are referring to West African foods which are completely different from Southern and East African regions. I'm from Southern Africa region and our food is nothing like West African food. Our food is similar to East African food. We cook different, our dishes are simple, less spicy and VERY lean. We hardly cook with lots of oil and we do not use palm oil in our dishes. We eat lots of different fish, chicken and occasionally beef, and when we cook, we do not mix our protein together. We cook each protein separate, chicken by itself and fish by itself. In West Africa they mix their protein together in one dish!!Our meals are always served with vegetables. Infact, Our meal is not complete without a side of vegetables. We eat cornmeal which is similar to ugali or "fufu". And we only eat rice on special occasions. Lastly, we hardly eat fast food or junk food, as these are completely expensive and out of reach for most people. Only people with money consume "Fast Food". Overall, there is a reason why the lifespan of West African are amongst the lowest in Africa. Perhaps, diet and other environmental factors has something to do with it.

      @fatmatakamara1866 3 місяці тому +4

      Mixing of different proteins is fairly new. I didn't see this growing up. Only thing is that for certain dishes especially those made with red meat we must add Smoked fish, which is one of our major ingredients in many of our sources. West African food when prepared the way our ancestors did, without the jumbo, seasonings, over Mixing of different proteins is very healthy. I think we in the diaspora tend to cook it the unhealthy way. Vacation back home I have healthy and consistent bowel movements, lose of excess weight and healthy complexion. You won't find obesity as a problem in West Africa. Minor diseases including communicable diseases and lack of health care services is the reason low Life expectancy in West Africa. We do eat a lot of vegetables just not in the way others include them in their meals. Covid-19 came and found West Africans too strong to mess with and ran away. My people are strong, healthy and our food when cooked the way it is cooked by non diasporans is world class❤❤❤❤

    Hello Miss Trudy , I appreciate seeing your garden.
    I also like gardening. Infact , food or vegetables from your own garden can be very tasty .
    I want to chip a little advice concerning your garden,
    You don't cover your crops up the way you did, because heat will kill must of your crops . It's better for the sun to be there than the heat . You just get to water your crops very well early in the morning, and late in the evening.
    The water will cool down your crops and it will do well.

    My advice pls dont completely cover thé sukuma, they need constant supply of sunlight. For them not to dry up just surround thé ground around with leaves or grass for thé ground to maintain moisture. As a seed bed just raise thé Shelter much higher to allow Proper circulation of air around thé plant leaves. You can use some wood poles to raise thé Shelter.

      FYI:
      ▪︎"Like all vegetables, collards like full sun, but they will tolerate partial shade as long as they get the equivalent of 4 to 5 hours of sun to bring out their full flavor. Plant in fertile soil because collards should grow fast to produce tender leaves."

    Jjambo trudy🖐️, just fill water in a bottle, pop a small hole on the bottle top and burry it upside down near the sukuma roots, it will be driping water drops slowly throughout and your kales will never lack water. Then make sure yo do mulching using light dry leaves like dry grass around the plant to retain the water.and instead of covering the plant using those heavy materials, use some bigger leaves covering around the sukuma. Thank me later!

    No, No, No, No! Please my dear Trudy don’t generalize. I’m a Ghanaian and from Takoradi and Cape Coast. In my house we don’t mix meats and fish as you’re describing. Chicken soup or stew isn’t mixed with fish or meat. My Cape Coast grandmother who was born in 1910 taught us very well, great cooking techniques. We used to grind on stone growing up preparing food and for instance light soup, will grind boiled pepper first, separately grind onions, garden eggs and tomatoes You even can’t mix that as you grind but interestingly all would end up in the same pot. But of course using blender now vegetables are put together and blended. However certain smoked dried fish and smoked game can be mixed. It all depends on individual preferences and what they’re accustomed to. Also different tribes in different regions cooks differently and have their staple food choices just as different traditions. Some of us still don’t mix any kind of fish and meat or chicken together. I also know people don’t always use their hands eating fufu even though that the best way to enjoy it. My husband for instance uses spoon but equally enjoys fufu and he’s not a Ghanaian. Maybe your dad would’ve enjoyed it better if the pepper were less and used just chicken for nice favorable the light soup. I hope he’ll like the jollof rice better when he tries it! Good luck!
