The maize plot bordering our backyard urgently needs weeding and detaching the tillers from the stems of the crops. As a result of excessive rainfall, wild vines are flourishing and twining round the corn stems tightly. But the planter failed to show his nose here despite the problem I informed him through others by phone . Seeing this, mother couldn't help pulling up the vines, unbinding the corn stems with scissors and tearing off the tillers. I also joined her to do the job until all the vines and tillers from the part next to our backyard to the east end were removed.
