FarmTech:
Jephito, nice WK., do u have problem with rodents?

No

That's why they find it easy to tamper with justice

Arvinkris:
@jephito,wat cud be the cause that all my cucumber plants look wilted during the hot sunny day but look healthy in the morning and evening? Any idea? I planted in sacks n they are like 4 weeks now

Lol... There no cause for alarm.. The hot weather is responsible.
Just irrigate properly

Mercie123 Where is your farm in Lagos?

bamigee:
Is this in line with the withdrawal period specified on the pesticide bottles

I think 48 hours is to little for the pesticides to get broken down and go into the harmless state

Please check.

I will check. Thanks.

Pavore9:
God really blessed the works of your hands...such harvest from a Lagos farm!

All thanks to God.

Pavore9:
You really did have a bountiful harvest!

Hope you will avail us what you made from it in respect to sales......is all about the figures!

Bountiful indeed! Cos I made the 5th harvest today at Day 62.

All glory to God.

I will try post ROI at the end. I will be doing a mop up harvest by Tuesday Day 66

Arvinkris:
Can u help me with how many seeds are likely to be in 50g tin. To help me estimate how many to buy for an acre?

No, I don't have the figure. But you can buy one and count to get the number of seeds in a 50g can

aboutbiz:
please how many acres do you use to plant this

1½ plots

SenseiAri:
Hi @jephito please can i come visit your farm? I'm about to start mine soon.

Are you irrigating now?

You are welcome.
I'm planning irrigation but I've not started yet.

4th Harvest

I just place them about 4"inches away from the plants.

jstemmanex:
Big ups to u bro, great job u doin

Thank you my brother.... Looking forward to seeing yours too very soon

Emempaul:
dat is a 3 tonne load of cassava. I am very sorry for d misunderstanding n misqouting. Pls forgive me

I salute ur maturity

TheUnbeatable:
The truck there is a 1.5 tonner truck but people load it up to 4-6 tonnes sometimes(cattle transporters carry 8 cows with it). That cassava is not more than 2.5 tonnes Max. I have done this business before. We deliver to info fufu market and they make fufu and deliver to Lagos and sometimes , it is dried in lagos and exported ...

I don't expect you to believe me though...

I am still reading though I don't care whether the believe you or not but you have just said the naked truth.... It's not more than 2.5 or 3tonnes.

Jstemmanex was in my farm yesterday

There is no need again since you will be using fertiliser.

Day 44

I made the first harvest


Thank you all for following.

Harvest

On the average, Hybrid cucumbers mature at 45 days from planting.

Harvest is at 4-5 days interval depending on the size of the farm, target market, the plants and one's availability.

Sometimes the vines need assistance to the trellis.

blazer234:
That lady, is she your sister? I hope she is and not your......

Lol... Hope no problem

Firefire:
Can you please post clear pictures of the trellis from the plant to the stake and how firm they are...?

Firefire:
You are on the right track sir, forget the distractors... some of us are following you and other great minds/farmers religiously...

God bless our hustle...

Thank you sir
