When to sow
When the soil is well prepared sowing can be done. In savanna country especially, sowing should be done at the beginning of the rainy season. In this way the plants will make full use of the rains.
· If you sow very early, the plants will grow up before they are hindered by weeds.
Sowing must be done at the right time.
