Dear diary,

Today's entry also brings great news. The cucumbers have been developing into fruits . Fingers remain crossed for a great harvest (I am not counting my chicks before they are hatched though ).

It seems the dry season is approaching now. Watering is deep (about 1 and half liters per plant every other day).

Concerning the onion seeds, i was at NIPOST today and was told it hasn't gotten to them yet . Fingers remain crossed and hopefully, I will get it (I am certain of that).

Anyways, things are shaping up well and looking good. I took some pictures of the garden eggs and the sizes are simply amazing! also and the Fantastic RZ F1 Aubergine sprouted yesterday (we will see how it goes).

As usual, stay tuned for more updates.

Stay safe, keep farming

Shalom

Wow wow.. I am here silently wishing that those are mine..lol.
Well-done op..
How many days old is your cucumber?
How many days old is your African garden egg

Hello Good People,

Can someone please help me confirm which of these two sites below is that actual one to apply for this Nisral loan. I just stumbled on this thread and I did be glad if anyone can be of help so I can also apply too. Thank you


https://covid19.nmfb.com.ng/HomeLoans


Or

https://nibloans.nmfb.com.ng/noninterestlendingtcfhousehold

The second link is to apply for the recent loan.

I think they are calling people with subjects that they need. A friend who teaches in command Ipaja was saying her colleague didn't come to work again after getting the job offer. They both teach English and Literature. This was last week Friday.
Let's just be hopeful

Muhylonaire007:
Civic Education.... I've not been called

Same here. Was this the subject you chose the last time you applied too?

Does this mean that there are no approvals and payment without this facilitating loan thing?
We don't see approval and payment testimonies again except that of the ones that were facilitated "as they call it"

Good morning readers,

I am adding okra seeds to the mix too. I bought Yeleen okra from technisem.

The ugu farm is also going on well. Though the drought has started in my region. The sun is really hot. The land is totally dried.

An advice to those transplanting seedlings is make sure you wet the hole before planting the seedlings. Then wet after planting the seedlings. Very important.

What are the features of this okra variety?
Is it the variety that's as short as a coke bottle?

Emmafly:
Good evening,
I have started preparations for the dry season vegetable farming.

I will like to use this thread as my update line.

Pictures will follow through.

1. The Plan :
The plan is to plant ugu seeds in the swamp between now and November ending, then start selling by first week of January down till 2nd week of June.
Only leaf will be sold as it is swamp farming, because by the time it will be ready for seed production, the rain might have taken over part of the swamp. A normal swamp is only dry for at most 6 months.
But know one thing, you would have made enough money to compensate for seeds.
One reason I am going to the swamp is because of irrigation cost. For me setting up boreholes on upland is a bit expensive and labour intensive especially on a short time rented land. But swamp farming makes it all easy. Just dig gutter inside the swamp in case of flash flood which is dependent on area.
Part of the swamp that is a bit dry has been cleared while seeds has also been planted waiting patiently for germination by God's grace.
While some ugu seeds will be planted in nursery bags and transplanted as the water recede from the swamp surface.
The maximum time to transplant ugu from a pure water sachet seedling bag is 21days- this is from my personal experience and research.
I plan to plant 2seeds per hole with a maximum spacing of 3ft.

More info to come as the journey progresses by God's Grace.

How did this go eventually?
Planting in the swamp..

Eti-Osa ke? My address is VI and most people's address is Lekki-Ajah. So basically, it's people from island. My question now is, if it's Eti-Osa LGA, does it mean I too, who happens to have a VI address, will be posted to Eti-Osa?

Eti Osa is the local government for these places you mentioned. So you can be posted within

Thorby:
Are they really doing this thing by depts?
I was told it's by Local Govt. And they are treating those from Eti-Osa LG presently.

Abeg o we need updates like this...so we know what's up.

Chithauri:
do tescom recruit every year?

No they don't. They recruit when they need teachers...no specific time. It could be in 2 years or more. It could be in less.
Sometimes they call applicants who applied before than start a new recruitment process. The last one started in 2019. Now we have 2021. Who knows when next... If they get enough teachers then no need to recruit till there is a need again.

FarmTech:
.
If it can be successfully drained, then u can plant anything there. I have encountered a land like that but once I channel the water out, it stopped being waterlogged.

Thanks for your response sir. How did you channel the water out without spending so much?

FarmTech:
..
Thanks very much. I finally found land in Awkuzu. I'm partnering with another nairalander.

Hello Boss
Please what advise do you have for me...I have access to a land thats waterlogged due to a nearby river.i was told that the river is not so close but drainage is needed to divert the water elsewhere.
Its a residential area (a family lives there)so I plan planting there for now then maybe build if the lord permits later.
Do you think such a place will be good for farming and what are the things I could consider farming there?
It's not so expensive but I don't want to waste money buying a land that won't be useful.
Thanks

Can ugu do well on a waterlogged land

Samuel89:
Please who has an idea how much is the salary?

63k after removing the removables like pension,tax .

IDK123:

You've got a chance if you have PGD in education....and if not, endeavor to write your essay writing very well. It carries 40marks. Your oral interview is 10marks and your micro teaching is also 10marks. Dressing is 10marks...you earn 10marks already for your certificate and 10marks for your presence. Passmark is 50.

Thanks for the details ..your name reminds me of my friend Dami

Dear diary,

So far, it's been a busy few days. We've staked, applied fungicide, foliar fertilizer (twice because of the rains here) and top-dressed with manure also.

The seedlings are looking great and all is going well so far.

New seeds were planted to cater for another planting somewhere else. The eggplants, carrots are looking fantastic
Unfortunately, it seems the onion seeds I got are expired .... It's been two weeks now and zero sprouting so far
₦5000 wasted nìyẹn!
Anyways, we move

As usual, stay tuned for more updates!

Shalom.

Sorry about your onion seeds, i thought the seeds always have their expiry date on the tin or pack. perhaps you could try again. Thankfully someone also offered you some seeds so you don't have to buy again.

(1) Neem seeds oil is available for sales in big volume

emmycool44:

But 40% is much h

She was referring to the last recruitment process not the one that closed recently.

ayoola111:
I wasn’t selected for online test. I just got a call to go to their office in ikeja oba akinjobi way. Met other people there, we did written test which is an essay writing with a topic. The test was for 10mins. It was mainly to test our writing skills, use of words, punctuation etc. Then, we did micro teaching and oral interview. The essay we wrote determined our success because it carried 40marks while the micro teaching and oral interview carried 10 marks each. So the total score was 60marks, I learnt we were graded as well with our dressing and all. Anything below 50 is F which means Fail. Just make sure your phones are on and available, not everyone would be selected for the online test, you might just be called upon.

Thanks for the information. I really appreciate

zxcvbnmlkjhgfds:
Even to get the 10g for purchase is quite high!
I resorted to saving seeds from the tomatoes I bought but I know it can't have the same characteristics as an original F1 seed.

Hopefully it germinates...to start with

Dear diary,

Challenges of a small-scale gardener/farmer

1. High cost of seeds: This has been a major bane of we small time agriculturists. For example, a tin of Greengo Cucumber (one of the very best varieties) is sold for N9000 - N9,500. This really expensive for someone like me who is a hobbyist and not a commercial farmer. Hence, most times we resort to buying cheap seeds that are often not of the best quality.

2. Attitude of 'experts' : there are so called 'experts' who feel they know it all and have zero patience for beginners. When you ask them questions, they give curt replies and feel you're wasting their time. To these ones i say "na you sabi " . We are all learners in this life and na person wey dey 6ft under don learn finish.

3. Nosy/Lazy Neighbours : na them be that! They see you going through all the stress, rigor and ardor of farming and dey will siddon dey look you . Harvest period go reach, you will see them hailing you and asking for some of your produce . Anyways, we rise by lifting others so once in a while, give them small. A wise man once told me, ' when you plant, include the lazy people and the thief in your planting'

Despite the challenges, farming is one of the noble professions and it really is fun and therapeutic working in/on the farm.

Once again, stay tuned for more!

I can relate with the number 1 for some types of hybrid tomatoes. I have been trying to get seeds for awhile now. But having to get it in more than 5g is not encouraging when it's just for my small garden. I probably will just be nursing 5 seedlings per pepper, tomatoes, Cucumber , sweet pepper...onions can be more.

Mylovelife:
For those that did the test, have you all received message for the final interview? Goodluck

Hi please did this batch do micro teaching or it was just the test and final interview?

ayoola111:

Marv650:
Good day to everyone. I am preparing to register my marriage online. But I noticed the prominent option online is place of worship. I am planning to use State/Local Government registry, but I am not sure they have in Ibadan.

Does anyone has helpful information about that or should I switch to the Ikoyi Registry?
Thanks, I will also appreciate any other information regarding marriage registry that is available.

Oyo state has their registry though you might not find the details online. It's better you ask someone to go in person to make enquiries at your preferred local government area.
