The children, John Jnr and Malike, looked happy as they bonded with their father while gardening.

"Our home farm is slowly taking shape…we planted Tomato, Garden eggs and watermelon today."

After planting the seeds, Joh Dumelo told his children that they would have to check and water them every morning.

A few minutes after that, Malike was seen at the door watching to see the plant grow. Her father, however, educated her that it would take a while to germinate.
