Gardeners have started planting their crops since early May before the rains starting coming.

But this year promises a more difficult times in the rainy season for many of them.

A gardener in New London, Waterloo, was happy during the first week of May when the more heavier rains this year had not started dropping.

Not until Friday last week when he became disappointed in the rainstorm on that afternoon day.

Denis, a gardner and masoner, wishes similar rainstorm which comes like bolts from the skies never to continue coming again.

“I am clearing a way out (in this gutter) for the rainwater to pass out.

“This rain is so hard coming,” he said.

Mr Denis had already planted some little maize, potatoe vines, and cassava sticks, in his compound garden.

He has there too in the small garden fruits like mangoes, coconut trees, peas, cashew nuts, and a palm tree. But the land is not too spacious as he may want it to be.

Picking his first-born mango fruits yesterday on Monday morning, he was happy that they produce nice yields.

The mangoes have not been affected by the heavy winds. Unlike in other villages around Waterloo where a blast of winds have been affecting crops yields, for Mr Denis he is lucky enough. He has never been affected as the fruits buds are not being flown away by the heavy winds that come now.

The heavy winds now in places afar like Makoray village are a sign of climate change.

One elderly woman talked to us about this effects of the weather now.

“All our plum buds have been flown in the air by the heavy winds. Mangoes, plums sticks, banana tress don’t bear well now like before as a result of the strange winds now that come.”

“Some government people have come to our village to advise us how we should be preserving the tress from being rapidly cut down, ” Isata Conteh from Makoray, explained in a special interview with Africa 24 journalist.
