Winter success

Aug 6, 2019 | General

In the freezing temperatures, we all like to snooze a little longer than usual, and so does plants. In winter, plants grow at a much slower rate than usual and that’s why it takes a good farmer and a favorable environment to produce good quality vegetable produce, especially in winter – like this swiss chard “spinach” produced by P. Kgapane, from Kgapane Fresh Produce in Burgersfort. The variety grown here is Ford Hook Giant – excellent color and size resulting in a great yield. Well done mister Kgapane. A job well done!
