Great vegetable farmers in the house....... couple of weeks ago, I started a thread about backyard cucumber. l learnt alot practically. l thank God, l was able to impact intending farmers in many ways. Glory be to Almighty God. This season 2 of backyard cucumber is still an inch on my learning curve. It promises to be fascinating. l hav learnt alot during my first foray. This season 2 will show some expertise and well blended touches. Pls stay following...... |

Re: My Backyard Cucumber--season 2 by Neduzze5(m): 6:56am On Jun 23, 2015 |
sheyi86: It could be birds. That's the reason why you should try to plant it a little deep in the soil |
Re: My Backyard Cucumber--season 2 by Neduzze5(m): 6:57am On Jun 23, 2015 |
freelife4all: When did you plant? Did you buy the seeds or you got it from the cucumber fruit? |

Neduzze5:Pls dont sow your seeds deeper than 1 inch. Or else you ruin their life from begining. It may germinate, but with much effort. this will lead to sick or poor plant. 1 Like |

freelife4all: l take you laaaaaaf bro. I also planted a plot (about 15 * 35m) of watermelon on 29th of May. l also planted a 5gram MURANO cucumber beside it same day. they all germinated but killed by excess rainfall. Am now using the plot for OKRA (Ila). lt may be excess rain if order things remain accurate. use the land for something else for now. |

This my okra plant .........unable to upload pics. Yes, only sandy soil with highly raised beds can sustain watermelon and cucumber for this period.

Re: My Backyard Cucumber--season 2 by OLAMIMO12(m): 3:49am On Jun 24, 2015 |
Let me quickly say this. Quiters never win. Continuation pays. it will give you an edge. l completed soil preparation and sowing of my backyard farm in less than an hour (removing debris from former production, little weeding, redressing the beds, and sowing). This season 2, we are growing hybrid cucumber from Seminis (a seed company from US). DARINA MIX is the specie. Pictures 1 Like |

Bhurlagy:Before i attend to your request, tell me; why are you running away from my area of specialization ? l want to be known for cucumber and watermelon both locally and internationally, yes, yes. give reason, l can be of help |
Re: My Backyard Cucumber--season 2 by Pavore9: 11:01am On Jun 24, 2015 |
Bhurlagy: Lettuce would be a nice try if your soil supports it as harvest is within 2 months and gets higher price than green and shoko. 1 Like |

Re: My Backyard Cucumber--season 2 by Bhurlagy(m): 3:11pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
Am not running away but will surely go into them later though have planted watermelon last failed and was told the land isnt suitable for watermelon. Am based in Ijebu-ode,Ogun state. OLAMIMO12: |
Re: My Backyard Cucumber--season 2 by Pavore9: 3:12pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
Bhurlagy: Yes do your research, check out markets around you. Lettuce is used for salads thus commanding higher price than shoko and others. 1 Like |
