Oga mi, how many days is this one like this?

21 days today.

SoftHeart:


Good evening,
From your profile, I saw your location is Akure, please how can I contact you in person? I'm planning to start farming tomatoes/cucumber this season and I'll need a mentor to guide me as I'm completely new to this.

Thanks for your help.

join the conversation, you can as well check MR OKOROEMAKA thread "very informative" if you have experience in farming..trust me you are good to go, and if you have questions post it, me or my OGAS Will answer.

No matter how good or experience you are you will loose at least 3 stand so far it is open field . I will be posting some cucumber plant that die, the causes and remedy. My ogass in the house add your own.

1. This stand died because some part of the manure use on that spot is not cure/dry enough, had been we mixed it very well, possibly the stand will not die.

My experience is next to zero, but I have some knowledge acquired from reading. I've asked some questions from farmers around me, but non of them is currently farming tomatoes...
Most of my questions may sound rudimentary and they're many, can I please call you on the ccontact number on your profile?

Growing....I think this present (South West) weather is okay for cucumber if one can irrigate well.

One litre per plant is ok ryt?

Whats the best time to plant cucumber? I stay in northwest.

Farmerakinloye6:
nope! I have booked 2 sachet of jorad down, if there is no Greengo by first week of March,I will have no option than to plant it.

My ogas in the house pls which one is the best in between jorad and greengo?

This question ehn.

You can get 0 bags still

Jorad is bigger than greengo in size I believe it should be able to make 50bags or more if done and managed well.

Growing...I noticed flowering on Monday, this is when I will introduce caterpillar force.

Sorry for the late reply boss,the bigger ones shud contain about 70-75cukes in a bag while the smaller/medium size shud contain about 85-90 cukes per bag but the number in a bag do not really matter if you av a bountiful harvest,u won't even av the time to count
