My Cucumber Farming Experience In Lagos by jephito(m): 7:59pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
On that same portion of land where I just finished harvesting cucumber early July, I have today formally started work to cultivate cucumber on that same land. I will keep you guys posted. This is my first thread on cucumber though I posted some pictures of the previous cultivation on many threads including this link. https://www.nairaland.com/3222065/market-more-cucumber-seed-performance 9 Likes 2 Shares

I am curious. Why don't you get some seeds from the cucumber you harvested earlier? Or is that not possible? |
Re: My Cucumber Farming Experience In Lagos by jephito(m): 11:31pm On Aug 23, 2016 |
jmoore:It's possible, though I have not tried it before. So, I save myself the risk. 1 Like |

Tomorrow by His grace I will be planting, but without manure (poultry waste). |
Re: My Cucumber Farming Experience In Lagos by jephito(m): 11:13pm On Aug 27, 2016 |
I planted today. Day 1 of the journey Pic 1: That's the left over of the manure I used the last time. It's not much at all Pic 2: That's the bed with manure on it. I do on the spot (where I will plant the seed) application. Pic 3: That's how we apply the compost manure. Normally, I usually apply my compost manure prior (not more than 3dys) to the day I want to plant so that I can identify the spot I placed the manure. But I delayed this one to the same day cos it's not much. 1 Like 1 Share

Two cans of Tokyo F1 was not enough, so I took like 20g from the third can to complete the farm. Apart from this 1½ plots, I am doing another one plot elsewhere but will not give it trellis. The remaining 30g left could not finish it and I didn't budget for another can. So I opted for another variety to complete the planting. I bought 2 sachets @1k3/sachet
