Olaleyeabdullah:That's the length but they normally get much thicker than that. However the color of the lower part seems to be yellowish. If that's the case that will mean it's already ripening o. |

safarifarms:I planted it 21 December. Should I leave it a little longer.some other ones there

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by safarifarms(m): 8:11pm On Feb 03, 2021 |
Olaleyeabdullah:Hmm, this your response made me wonder if I have problem with my eye and had to show this pic to someone else and she affirmed that it's indeed yellowish. If the real-life cucumber is not actually yellowish then perhaps it's your camera or the angle of the photo. The size is okay to harvest (I'll prefer to eat this size as the seeds are not yet strong) but if it's not yellowish it can grow bigger and fewer of them will fill a bag. However keeping them longer will delay other smaller fruits from bulking as the crop is focusing it's energy on maturing the bigger ones. If that bottom is indeed yellowish then it's already ripening and the seeds will be quite strong and less appealing to eat. Cucumbers are best enjoyed when not fully mature but some actually like it mature. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by safarifarms(m): 8:15pm On Feb 03, 2021 |
Olaleyeabdullah:As per your planting date you should start harvesting. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Olaleyeabdullah(m): 1:02pm On Feb 07, 2021 |
safarifarms:started harvesting but couldn't get a bag from my 300 stand as not all started fruiting at the same time. Thinking of selling in bits. Like what quantinty of it full a bag sir. Thinking of selling mine for each #60 since I couldn't get up to a bag |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by safarifarms(m): 2:57pm On Feb 07, 2021 |
Olaleyeabdullah:That will depend on the size of the fruits. The bigger the fruits the less the number to fill a bag. But I've never counted before. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 5:26pm On Feb 07, 2021 |
Remain just one more harvest.price now is 6-6.5k at the moment. Cucumber is agriculture commodity that worth planting if you have the knowledge, skills, market and time. Materials I used and deep insight loading... 1 Like

I learnt a lot from this your project boss. I would be planting cucumber massively by December to meet up with the high price. your plant still look fresh and it shouldn't be the last harvest |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by okoroemeka(m): 7:46pm On Feb 07, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:how many times did you harvest the farm |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:58pm On Feb 07, 2021 |
okoroemeka:I divide the farm into 2, then harvest 2-2 days,I start from January 13th. No matter how you maintain ( irrigate, manure or fertilizer) dry season will always be dry season. Tomato my people do here is an example of thrash and labour loss, weather and white flies beat them down despite all the knowledge. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Farmerakinloye6(m): 8:06pm On Feb 07, 2021 |
aquadude15:I don't have the time, else I will miss my planting date for tomato. if I continue to irrigate my harvest will be like shakushaku 80%,viable one will be like 20%. It doesn't Worth it...moreover season is almost here ( other commodity loading) |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by aquadude15: 8:11pm On Feb 07, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:noted boss. but price of tomato dey fear me now oooo. I hope it changes before next month ending when I start harvesting |

Farmerakinloye6:based on my experience and what I have seen, PRUNING require skills, pruning base branch is not negotiable both in rain season and dry season, if you don't prune at all that means you will not be able to pass through furrow. During raining season, if careful prune like 2-3 time is done trust me you will like cucumber because it will seed!!!! But, if you try it during dry season that means ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |
