Cucumber planting

The soil which to plant cucumbers must be well drain.  During soil preparation generous incorporation of compost or well-rotted manure is required a week or two prior to planting. Cucumber yields are highest in fertile clay soil with plenty of humus, but they will grow well in most good vegetable garden soils.

Cucumber grow on climbing vines, there the plant should be in the area where small ‘fence’ or trellis can be put next to the plants.  The trellis should be at least 4 feet high.

Cucumber seeds are planted in a row, zigzag style, 6 inches apart, 1.5 to 1 inch deep and about 1 to 4 feet from the trellis. Cucumbers need full sun and warm, well drained soil. They also like rich, neutral to slightly alkaline soil.
.
When the seedlings are about 6 inches, they need to be trained to climb on the trellis if they have not done by themselves.

Cucumber can be boosted by giving fish emulsion, alfalfa meal, or another organic fertilizer when the vines are 1 foot long, and again a month later.

Okra cultivation

Okra (abelmoschus esculentus), is an annual vegetable crop grown in tropical and subtropical regions.

The seed should be drilled like garden peas in alight soil. The plants, to be thrifty, should be at last two feet apart. Okra can be cultivated in temperature zones. However, for a cultivation that gives satisfactory productions the okra requires temperature typical of tropical areas at least 25 °C average daily.

It is grown in sandy to clay soils but due to its well-developed tap root system, relatively light, well-drained rich soils are ideal.

All soils need to be pulverized, moistened and enriched with organic matter before sowing.

The seedlings in the nursery need to have water them sparingly; it is necessary to prevent the block dry ground, but at same time, it is necessary to avoid excessive water, especially during germination.

Seed germinate in 5-14 days. Germination can be speeded up by soaking in water for 24 hours.

Okra begins to yield edible pods about 2 months after planting, Pods are best about 46 days after flowering.
