Hello family? How do you separate your female #Papaya seeds from male seeds? After consuming my sweet local variety I got from a friend I soak all the seeds in water , the male and immature seeds will float , I throw them away and dry the females . The method had worked for me.

Good morning? Remember #bulbonions will take 45days in the nursery and the key point is how you will transplant the seedlings. Make sure you don't plant too deep otherwise your onions won't bulb or will have a bottle shape bulbs. All the best in your farms!!

One thing I like about farming #bulbonions is the market. Every home uses this bulbs almost twice a day . Meaning I'll always be in the market. The secret is production. Ensure you harvest over 10tonnes per acre and with this ,even if the prices go down you will be in profits.

Hello family, have you ever wondered how you can raise #apple ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽfrom seeds ? Have you even tried planting seeds and have 0%germination? here's why; apple seeds have a high seed domancy and unlike other seeds ,you have to refrigerate the seeds so as to break the seed domancy.
