Yaje’s African Garden & Allotment is about growing culturally meaningful African vegetables. I have been pushing the zone and growing African vegetables in my Texas (Zone 9a) garden for more than 20 years.
My mission is help 100,000 people start a garden in their backyard or balcony and enjoy the health and happiness that comes along with turning the soil.
I grow Bitterleaf, Okra, Anchia, Garden eggs, Garden huckleberry (njama njama), Fluted pumpkin (Ugu or okong obong), various pepper varieties, corn and so much more in my garden.

Sis, this is hardwork. You did a great job. 👏 It's a complete guide indeed.
I bought some bamboo sticks at Lowe's to stake mine but they weren't enough and it's expensive, so I left them crawling in the garden and harvested as needed. I'll stake them next year. Growing Ugu in Diaspora is very hard that's why I applaud you. 👏
Thank you very much, I like planting ugu. Thanks for sharing. God bless u.
This is a great video with adequate information, thank you so much for sharing this video… I live in Texas , Houston to be precise , can you please sell me some seeds so I can start planting in my yard. 😊
