Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Pavore9: 7:30am On Jul 24, 2015 |
shema101: l would not know though it is native to South America (Chile and Peru) but is now picking up in Kenya and being told Nigeria weather is also good for it cultivation as it takes about 5 months from planting to harvest. l have a relative who l want to have it sent to in Lagos. |

Mr pavore9 you once talked about beetroot.... Is there ready market for it...I want to start some research on how best to plant. |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Pavore9: 8:15am On Mar 05, 2016 |
Walexz02: Beetroot is rich in iron content and helps to improve blood count and blood flow. I recall when a doctor recommended it for a relative who was going through a Haemorrhage-related illness, getting it was an issue and when we found it at the Mile 12 market, it wasn't price-friendly! 1 Like |

Hello, Were u able to send d pepino melon as u said? Can ur relative be contacted to gv out d seeed/seedling? Am interested in planting it. Pavore9: |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Pavore9: 8:40am On May 08, 2016 |
Newway2: I didn't get to send the melon down because my schedule tend to not always have me around when someone is flying down to Nigeria. The seedlings are readily available though the nursery that stock them is about an hour and thirty minutes drive away from Nairobi. |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Newway2(m): 10:03pm On May 09, 2016 |
I wld love to hv d pepino melon seed/seedling in Nigeria. I wld appreciate if u cld facilitate this. Am also interested in d other exotic vegies like beetroot, squash etc. How can u be of assistance? Pavore9: |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Pavore9: 11:40pm On May 09, 2016 |
Newway2: I got info someone will be coming to Nairobi from Lagos next week (though not yet confirmed), that may be the best bet of you getting the pepino melon seedlings soonest. If the schedule is confirmed, then we can work out something. |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Newway2(m): 3:07am On May 10, 2016 |
I will sincerely appreciate it if ds cld be pulled tru. If u don't mind, I will love it if beetroot & squash seeds cld be included. I will just pay d naira equivalent to ur guy here in Nigeria. Tnx in advance Pavore9: |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Pavore9: 5:16am On May 10, 2016 |
Newway2: Is technisem Nigeria not stocking beetroot and squash seeds? |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by autofreak1(m): 5:24pm On May 10, 2016 |
Pavore9: Funny thing is Shoprite at the Ikeja mall now sells seeds from SA. I got cucumber, coriander, beetroot and squash seeds last week. I have planted the beetroot but here is a picture of the squash and coriander seeds. Also a picture of the shelf at the mall.

autofreak1: That is good, Many Supermarkets here in Nairobi have stands for various seeds. How much do each pack cost? Squash is a money spinner as a seed can give one between 4-8 gourds at harvest. I have been experimenting to check on how long it can last post harvest, I got one squash on the 23rd of December 2015 and have kept it within room temperature since then and it is still looking fresh. |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by autofreak1(m): 6:53pm On May 10, 2016 |
@Pavore Each pack sells for N330 (for any of the plants and fruits). Really cheap I think. |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Pavore9: 7:48pm On May 10, 2016 |
autofreak1: It is very affordable. |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Newway2(m): 9:44pm On May 10, 2016 |
They don't hv right now & don't know when they will hv But from d above post, it shows I can get it in shoprite. I will try that. Pavore9: |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Pavore9: 3:15am On May 11, 2016 |
Newway2: Do get it there, so we can now only focus on getting the pepino melon seedlings. |
Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by Pavore9: 4:25am On May 13, 2016 |
Newway2: Do send me a PM, I got info someone is travelling down to Lagos on Monday. |
