Root knot nematode no try at all.

Just did my third harvest yesterday.

12 so far.

Jorad and Murano? Thats Good👍 These are both very high yielding and female flower dominated varieties. If you manage them well, you don blow be that ! Infact I'm planting greengo next. Let me try a cultivar with a different fruiting habit.

You should be ready to fertilize and water to prevent fruit abortion oh.

Please sir, which of both varieties do you think is closer to greengo when it comes to deep green colour?

Exactly, I plan to be fertilizing 5g every week.
MOP and SSP and Calcium sulphate don dey ground.

I have already made arrangement for reservoir of 10k litres of water.

I'm expecting to start harvesting jorad by day 35 and murano by 42day.

Our people here are really in love with Murano because of it's size but both are very green

If it's cu99, with that population of 2,200 (of healthy plants). First harvest won't give you more than 8 - 10 bags plus or minus. Peak harvest from my experience was btw 2nd and 3rd harvest. Cu99 is good. Larger fruits. It's yield is not bad. But I don't think it's fair to compare its yield with Darina, greengo and the rest.

Cu999 (African giant) has a monocious flowering habit (much more male flowers)

The stress of refilling watering can will be much now ... the holes will just be connected to the reservoir simple

if you plant October, Then harvest Nov-dec make sense! I will not be planting again because am preparing for holiday, and I have lots of tomato stand that will be ready for harvest from October ending till early January.

Hello bro.
How's your cucumber thriving under the attack of nematodes now?

Manage harvest six times now.
One more harvest, then I clear off.
Cuz they're going already.


I guess i saw this coming but understimated it, the ravaging power of nematodes.

I will never try and plant without the intensive use of wormforce again.

That's an experience for the sake of the future.

Excited for the next project.

So, how's yours. Guess you've planted.

Eyah, sorry about that.
But are you sure it's nematodes... is the nutrient and fungi management good enough?

Yea, I've planted last week.
