Sinigapuna

Sinigapuna is a Filipino word that refers to a farming technique where farmers observe the behavior of animals and insects in their farms in order to decide the best time to plant and harvest their crops.

Imagine you are a farmer and you want to grow some yummy fruits and vegetables like tomatoes and strawberries. But you don't want to plant them just yet because you want to make sure they will grow strong and healthy. So you start to observe the animals and insects around your farm.

You notice that birds are flying in the sky and bees are buzzing around the flowers. This tells you that it's a good time to start planting because the weather is warm and plants will have enough time to grow well.

Next, you observe the behavior of ants and earthworms in your soil. If you see a lot of ants crawling around, it might mean that the soil is too dry for planting. But if you see a lot of earthworms in the soil, it means that the soil is rich and healthy for your plants to grow in.

By using this technique of sinigapuna, you can make sure you plant your crops at the right time and in the right conditions, which helps them grow strong and healthy. And that means you can harvest more fruits and vegetables to sell or eat!
