  • This week we're having some real talk as it relates to the business of farming in Jamaica, from farmers' perspectives. The greenhouse bell peppers as well as the hot peppers haven't been showcased in a while, so, I'll also catch you up on how those plants have been performing. Welcome.

    Yeah and it's basically acid rain but this time of year it normally scorches/ burns certain crops especially younger and short crops like pepper peas etc.

      Yeah.. in my neck of the woods the ‘seven-star waters’ damage has been found more on Lettuce and Pak Choy than anything else..

    You're an inspiration, love what you do. Thank you for bringing us in.
    BTW could you add close caption,? Even though I am Jamaican, living away for a long time causes me not to understand what the guys are saying

      Thank you for tuning in! Hahahahaa.. Closed Captioning on Gregory and Headley’s conversations are sure going to exhaust the video editing software…… But I will try! 🇯🇲

    They sell something at the farm store that can help so make sure you get it and next time try to remember about it so you can be prepared and continue the great work

    • @CityGirlFarmsJamaica
      @CityGirlFarmsJamaica  3 місяці тому

      Oh ok, thanks.. I’ll be sure check for it. The actual effects of that I know of though, like scorching of leaves, didn’t take place this time, thankfully. What really had an affect was the volume of rain plus heavy wind in between. So it’s structural damage (Cho Cho Harbour and Greenhouse) that took place..

    It's an annual event it starts around the 6th of June to about the 10th of June and it's dangerous for small crops like pepper tomatoes etc. and you can Google it the get the exact dates correctly

  • @KingKong-dp2he
    @KingKong-dp2he 3 місяці тому

    Yeah it starts late may to about the 10th of June and it's not usually a heavy shower it's in the night dew and that's what makes it dangerous for the crops

  • @KingKong-dp2he
    @KingKong-dp2he 3 місяці тому

    I've been trying to get the link too so I could share it with you but I'm not getting any information about it and it's strange because I've known about it since I was a child and I even googled it a few years ago and it mentioned what it does to small crops that ive mentioned before and the time of year etc.

    • @CityGirlFarmsJamaica
      @CityGirlFarmsJamaica  3 місяці тому

      Ok, yeah.. I did a search too but nothing apart from a Jamaica Observer article briefly mentioning it and citing no more than its effects. Someone else I spoke with says he thinks that the start date is towards the end of May and it runs into June…
