Misconception here. Like I said, the picture uploaded is from an harvested bed. Yes, those are already cut vegetables.

FashionCapital:
Me self dey reason same thing. But probably the camera angle cus I can't even see the stems which should be thick I guess.

I think that depends on your location in Lagos. Nevertheless, it should be available in all major markets, just ask around.

Yampotatocarrot:
Please, how are the seeds sold in the market, na by counting?

I don find Ugu seed tire, I no see... Even had to send someone to ile-epo market, no show... Although I'm more interested in the other vegetables than ugu

jidestroud:
With reference to Ugu, I get my seeds at Bolade market in Oshodi. She brings the seeds all the way from Calabar. But it's been awhile I contacted her.
I do have another plug who helps out when I get too lazy to the bookings myself. And for the vegetables seeds, I do buy majorly at LASU Igando road, where you have most of the farmers annexed to Lasu fence farming. You'll get good quality seeds there.

jidestroud:
It's good to be back on the farm. Time to exploit the merits of the harmattan season.

Yampotatocarrot:
Dry season farming... More profit, I believe

jidestroud:
The drier, the merrier. You'll almost never want to do vegetables in the rainy season again.

Soko or Tete?

I am yet to understand why the Yorubas prefer the Efo Soko to Efe Tete. For me, vegetable is vegetables. I couldn't even tell the difference of any vegetable eaten , well, except for bitterleaf . For those who intend farming vegetables where the Yorubas are highly populated, abeg do Efo Soko (Lagos Spinach).

emmaachile2:
Soko is far better in terms of soup thickness and also quality. It doesn't loose volume and resembles more of ugu leaves than Efo tete.
I remove all efo tete from the farm and replace with Efo soko.

jidestroud:
That Soko ehn !! all of a sudden, it just keeps becoming more and more difficult for me to nurse on my farm . It dies off just barely a week after sprouting.

Any suggestions? @emmaachile2

jidestroud:
Efe Tete

The Efo Tete (African Spinach) is just simply amazing. Two weeks after transplant with aggressive watering and, abracadabra!!! It ready to be harvested!!! It's a 4 weeks plant, way faster than the Efo Soko (Lagos Spinach) which is 6 weeks to harvest.

The only difference between the Tete and the Soko is just that I always uproot the Tete when harvesting unlike the Soko which I cut and allow branch out again. This harvesting method of the Tete always makes me have a nursing bed at all times. I am always transplanting every now and then once a bed is sold off. This could be quite tedious, then again, wetin I come do for farm before?

jidestroud:
Top passive income earner

I must confess, these vegetables in this season is indeed a gold mine. Farming vegetables is veeeeeeeeeery profitable during the dry seasons. Every bed harvested gave me twice the normal rainy seasons prices. For me, the Tete was my top earning vegetables (well, the Soko most times were dapping off), next to the Ewedu(s) . Yoruba no dey use ewedu play oooo!!! Lastly, the Soko was fair though.

Overall sales was very very profitable.
