Hello Nairalanders

Last week I created a topic asking if i could plant cucumber seeds in bags, due to the large numbers of termites in the land i wanted to use, only one person commented, saying I should go ahead. Since then, i have been filling properly washed cement bags with sand mixed with manure. I want to start with only hundred bags, to see how productive it’ll be after harvest.
I went to buy the seeds at Dugbe (Ibadan) yesterday. I got the local seeds, I don’t want to start with F1 ( make my money no go waste if the thing no do well ). I will be posting about the cucumbers from time to time to show how things are going in the farm. As at this morning, seeds have been planted in the 100 bags.

I’ll like to get advice and tips on somethings e.g chemicals to use during insect infestation and fertilisers to use for speedy and healthy growth of the cucumbers. Thank you

This is good.

Cucumber is a water loving crop.
What's your plan on irrigation?

You should make enquiry about the pest and disease and the application of fertilizers.

Since they are only 100 bags for now, I’ll be wetting them myself, there is a well very close to the land

Day 2
Rain refused to fall, so i had to wet the seeds myself
I pray it rains this night

( in majek fashek’s voice ) the sky looks misty and cloudy, looks like the rain is gonna fall today, since morning I’ve been sowing my seeds, waiting for them rain to fall and water them.

Day 3

Rain no gree fall oh, i still had to wet by myself today too.
As i was wetting i noticed these green caterpillars, the seeds haven’t even germinated and they are already here doing fasting and prayer. Someone should please tell me what to use and finish them off before they turn my farm to their restaurant.

Day 4
My seeds are germinating already
Are they suppose to germinate this fast, well, I don’t care, as long as they grow well

Day 7

Second set of leaves are coming out

Keenly following. You are doing well Sir

See better rod Naira land feminists will use handle themselves

Nice. I also plant cucumber a lot. The specie I do is Seminis Darina F1 hybrid cucumber seeds.

The seminis darina f1 cucumber seed is one of the most highly productive slicing cucumber seeds available in the market. Darina cucumber seeds are ready for harvest 32 days after planting.

1 Satchet of Seminis Darina can give as much as 10 sacks of cucumber with about 90 cucumbers in each sack.

Seminis darina f1 seeds can be planted all year round in nigeria and in any other location with tropical conditions. You can plant this variety in the rainy season and in the dry season.

You can google it or search it on jiji.

This is fine and noble! Left this business in 2020 after my farm was destroyed by the cows of the fulani herdsmen who grazed on it

Why is everyone planting cucumber?

Imagine, 50 years ago, your grandparents were farming the same way. Imagine, 50 years from now, your grandchildren will be farming the same way.
Black brain is cursed.

God bless ur hustle
