Please I was going to ask what is the purpose of staking ? Must cucumber. watermelon, squash etc have to be staked before they will grow ? Thanks for answering my question

Very nice thread, well done OP
How long does a full cycle i.e. from planting to harvest take?

It takes three months only.

And needs a lot of water. So you can plant February, harvest between April/May, then replant May and harvest July/August.

On the other hand, you can prepare three to four different plots of land, plant each plot per month starting from April. This is to ensure that the plants are directly watered by rain fall thereby saving you the stress of watering them daily.

The purpose of staking is to help the plants grow better, bigger and sweeter. In a way, it equally prevents insects from getting to them.

Yeah, that's true but at a time, staking helps the cucumber fruit.

It's not a must but for better harvest, it is a necessity.

Okay, thank you for the response. Wish you the very best with it.

u dont need to stake cucumber but i dnt know about watermelon and squash

OP, well done o. Thanks to you I have seen cucumber leaves for the first time in my life.

Am also impressed to know that people are farming cucumbers, watermelon etc in P.H, Owerri etc. I erroneously believed these fruits can only grow in the North. Much appreciation for a work well done!

Neduzze5:
Very soon I'll start sending ropes up from the plants to the stakes like this....

Nice bro. Staking will enhance yield and check rots of cucumber.

Good work bros Am learning sometime valuable from you. I will contact you soon
