Well done Ola! Do goats eat cucumber? I mean can it be planted at the back of the house just like melon and not be eaten up by goats?

I think goat dont eat cucumber. i dont hav fence. Goats just pass by the garden. They can just step on the vines with little or no damage.

.........preparing 2 plots for cucumber.

Expansion...........on my mind

Something................on my mind.

dav8id:
and there is no place @op mention farming i guess

jasper has cleared the air. op is still part of the chain value.

jasper7:
so far as the op is not importing, it means he's buying from a local farmer or middleman. which is still part of the value chain. which makes it interesting to me. If he becomes a food supplier, maybe he can start buying and selling more than onions. Maybe ur cucumber or ur watermelon. do you catch my drift?

really intresting. tnx

jasper7:
Interesting...

@jasper7.......boss, is this really intresting? i think this is buying and selling. not farming and marketing.
