In Buganda the majority of the people are farmers and at each daybreak they prepare to go farm/dig. Even sometimes they don't have time to eat breakfast; they go right to the garden and start to dig. Sometimes they dig til 10 or 11am then they return home. When they are at home, they drink tea or coffee; afterwards they eat lunch at 1 or 2pm then they return to the garden or to do other work and they eat supper at 9pm, sometimes 9:30.
