lol. That's how we saw the name ooo. The cucumber are doing great. Thank God. Rain has been helpful. They are preparing to spread. Our network has been dicey for me to attach pictures. I hope i will be able to do that soon. Hope your end is great

I planted about 10grams of the murano to compare with the marketer and pointsett. I will let you know the results when i finish harvesting. The cucumbers will be 3 weeks this Saturday

Cucumber at 2 weeks. This was taken last week saturday

I will get todays picture when i come back from the farm. Later today

That spacing to me doesn't look like 1m by 1m, it rather looks like 1ft by 1ft. Right?

kudos jethro.

On a second thought, I think putting the contact no for people that needs the products will do the seller a lot of good cause he will have more customer for his products. Will still like to know how i got the no from you. Then i can decide

A friend told me today about a selective herbicide for cucumber so I will test it with a small potion of the farm and see what up next week.

Yes it is extremely stressfull Weeding with hoe. There are still a lot of farming aspect in Nigeria that have not been mechanised yet. We hope to get there some day.

The murano species has an exceptional growth rate. It starts flowering at 4 weeks. The other species are just preparing. I will see how to attach the pics later.
