My experiment with the beetroot seeds gotten from Shoprite. Germination rate is very good. Next experiment will be the squash seeds.

My major concern abt having pepino melon on my farm is d fear of cross polination from water melon whih I already hv on d farm.
I know cross polination occurs btwn normal melon (egusi) & water melon.

It is impressive. Those who have no access to land can easily use sacks.

I finally got to buy beetroot, squash & marigold seeds at shoprite ikeja. But a major worry is d near expiry dates of al d seed.
Hope it will not affect germination?

Funny thing is Shoprite at the Ikeja mall now sells seeds from SA. I got cucumber, coriander, beetroot and squash seeds last week. I have planted the beetroot but here is a picture of the squash and coriander seeds. Also a picture of the shelf at the mall.

Pavore9:
Do get it there, so we can now only focus on getting the pepino melon seedlings.

Just make sure you immediately do the planting and see how it turns out.

Good to know you were able to get the seeds. Like Prof P advised plant them asap. Best of luck.
