@emeka okoro... this is totally unacceptable, you don't draw a line of conclusion like that.. I have farmers around that end that can testify to germination and yield rate of monalisa... south east stakeholders love to plant saira,nandini and kayin.. I can boldly tell you that mona lisa is a good variety if you have probably done it well... Good practice is the key.. check some of my farmers yield ..
Finally I am one of #Eastwest sub dealer...
Mr olaitan, you are my very good pathner and advicer,let's just say that the monalisa don't like our soil,and it will perform excellent on other soils ,climatic conditions or management,but my late father use to tell me son your ear don't have to be big like the elephants ear for you to hear.

most times I get numerous calls and WhatsApp msgs from intending farmers asking questions about how difficult or challenging can growing veggies be,well I always tell them that their imagination is the only limitation,my 17 yrs old son and his 15 yrs brother teamed up and planted cucumbers as their holidays project on a land measuring 72 ft by 72 ft,I gave them a grant of #20,000k for the project,they managed to grow the crops with ogranic manure only,3-4 sprays of insecticide,zero fungicides and zero foliar fertilizer,I was surprised they harvested 8 bags first picking and a market woman paid them #4000 per bag and zoomed off with the produce this morning, from what i saw on the site 30-40 bags is achievable,there some people that still believe that growing veggies is rocket science,it's not,if a 15 yrs old boy can do that so can you.

exactly,the market don't like what it's not familiar with,my farmer friend planted that long variety sometime and I had the opportunity to taste it,the taste was better, crisp and super slimy,but the market don't like the long size,I think in veggies it's best to play safe and plant what is in local demand,you can't go wrong with those varieties in the pics.

that's why I said that our imagination is the only limitation,my boys did 50 grams(1700-1800 seeds)with a budget of #20,000k,this is breakdown of what they spent the money on,seed#8000,clearing#1500, ridging#1500,nylon rope one bag #3500, insecticide#500, binding wire#500,they used old bamboo and pig manure only.

I am just posting this for the sake of intending farmers and cash strapped youths that has the will and determination to take their destiny in their own hands,the boys harvested their 50 days old cukes for the second time and got 9 bags and they already have #68,000 naira in the kitty,I will be quite surprised if they don't clear #200,000k from that farm , looking at the performance of their farm,for two teenagers that are planning to employ two workers on their own farm this dry season and pay them,hmm,it will be seriously interesting.for the records the 17yrs boy has finished secondary school and got admitted to FUTO to study biotechnology,and he doesn't have any intention of disturbing anybody for money,he is the new money man why will he not be with a fresh 3000 stands of cukes on a new farm coming up,I am not doubting what he says this days !!!

Get bagged compost if you don't have access to manure. It is irreplaceable

I'm not saying that NPK isn't good, it is fast releasing and the nutrient might no longer be available when your young crop needs it. But with manure as the foundation nutrient, your young crop will definitely have something to feed on pending the time you start fertilizing them with NPK.

Manure is slow releasing

Reading through this and other threads and seeing array of comments on hot pepper farming prompted me ask gurus specially @okoroemeka

What's your over all analytic verdict on cucumber vs hot pepper farming?

cucumbers are fast maturing crops,we have done a Murano farm that was harvested at 38 days,cukes will use small piece of land to give good financial return,it's fast maturing but dies equally faster.pepper on the other hand needs bigger size of land to give good financial return,it's slow to maturity 70-90 days,but it will be harvested for a longer period and it's more easier to manage than cucumbers,if I was given a choice between the two,I will still choose the two of them,pepper will be for long term projects,while cucumbers will be quick money spinner to support the pepper.
