KISII REPORT - THE RAINS HAVE BEGUN

 At the moment, the small tank is in place on the tower, the pump has been purchased, along with the sprinklers and everything needed to put the irrigation in place for the garden. But ironically, the irrigation work has been delayed a few days because of heavy rains.


This time of the year, around the vernal equinox is traditionally the time of heavy rains, but Pastor Joel tells me that even this is changing. If you care to look back on the blog to the February 9, 2020 post (KISII REPORT – MUUSUM WINDS), there I explain why the seasonal weather patterns for east Africa have been changing in recent years. Rains and drought times can now occur at almost any time of the year.

This change in weather patterns was also the cause for the locust invasion, which if you remember, was also taking place about this time last year. The locusts are still in the northern part of the country, but the government has conducted a vigorous spraying campaign, so the numbers are greatly reduced.

Concerning the completion of the irrigation and water system, the rains have now let up in the past couple of days, so it is our hope that in the coming week all may be installed so that planting can take place. They did not want to plant beforehand, since installing the pipes would disrupt too much of the garden soil.

Here is this week’s report from Pastor Joel:
