Two men are planting leafy vegetables (Abelmoschus manihot) in garden land below the village of Kwarelala. Before they set the seedlings into the hole prepared with a planting stick, they smear the cut ends with lard and spit on the soil. They speak incantations for good growth and sufficient food, which should also act to make the ghost woman Monton avoid this place and prevent mudslides.
