We had a busy weekend as we planted our 10 000 Kilimo F1 hybrid cabbage aka "Mukadzi Usaende" from @Charterseeds courtesy of @TeamFuloZim #FarmersCookOffChallenge......! As always we keep learning and it's always appreciate support within the farming community! Grateful to @AgritexS Mr Mupoperi for the surprise visit and agronomy support popped in to share a bit of basic agronomical practices🙏 🌱 Propagated seedlings are the preferred method for establishing your crop. When transplanting seedlings they should be planted in moist soil, firm the soil around the plug to achieve solid soil to plug contact. This will encourage quick root development. 🌱Seedlings must be planted 40-50cm (30cm is also ok from our experience) apart in rows that are spaced 1.5-2m apart. 🌱Soil types can vary from sandy loam to clay loam, with a clay content between 15% to 35%. Sandy soils can also be used provided the soil moisture content can be maintained at the desired level. 🌱The preferred method of irrigation is drip irrigation. This prevents the foliage from getting wet, thus minimizing the chance of leaf diseases. Overhead sprinkler irrigation can be used when there is no rainfall in the dryer months up to the fruiting stage. Sprinkler irrigation can dramatically increase the incidents of various diseases in medium rainfall or misty areas. 🌱Crop nutrition and weed management are important to the success of your crop. Be vigilant for any signs of nutrient deficiencies or diseases in your crop. Happy farming #Zimfarming @TeamFuloZim @PhiriDivah @NgonieSanaz @1Humuson @Charterseeds

#FarmersCookOffChallenge2024 POST MATCH ANALYSIS. Despite the absence of meat in Emily’s dish,I found this graze inviting and looked wholesome and filling. A real winter warmer!

#FarmersCookOffChallenge 2024. POST MATCH ANALYSIS . Gospapa Mhofu Matondi was very cunning by slipping a Sierra Leone bank note under his plate which, to those of us who know where he is based could’ve breached the anonymity rule,but we decided to let it slide! 😂😂😅😂🙆🏽‍♂️ Unfortunately he was knocked out in the first round of the #FarmersCookOffChallenge with voters rejecting his presentation of nyevhe ,off layer chicken and dassa .
