Nigeria is known for two seasons, the dry (harmattan) and rainy (wet) seasons. I must tell you from my experience and point of view dry season farming is the best especially for vegetables (cucumber, watermelon, (tomatoes, pumpkin etc ), provided you have the resources (irrigation). My reasons; you can easily control the amount of water required, weeds problem is reduced, pests and diseases are minimal and above all more profit margin as most farmers especially southerners go to rest. No wonder the northerners are the king in vegies production. But do you realise that the southerners have more upper hand when it comes to farming, this because we're blessed with two seasons (wet and dry), yet we only utilize only one of the season (wet). Well the excuse I've come to know is that dry season farming is expensive. To be sincere I concur. But why can't we make the money during the raining season, to prepare the dry season? I can bet it that you would probably realise whatever you invest and make more profit than wet season. So what am saying in essence is that the rainy season is almost here so let's utilize this God given opportunity properly, make money and get prepared for the dry season. Because this where our forefathers got it wrong, they farm during wet and wait for the wet season. We must change that, and this is time we do that.
Crops you can plant and harvest between 2-3months are; cuccumber, watermelon, tomatoes, maize and the leafy vegs.
Common crops grown in the south during rainy season are cassava, yam, maize etc. It'll be good if you can intercrop your cassava farm with maize.

Does intercropping maize with cassava reduces the yieldof either of the two? And, also which one shld one plant first ; cassava or maize?
