Only three cereals can do well in Gatundu South; Maize, Barley, and Sorghum. Forget about trying out something else. Even among the three, there are specific varieties that you need to buy and plant if you need to have some good harvests.
It is important to note that Gatundu South does not receive that much rain. The area is generally dry, and, therefore, most of the crops have to be drought-resistant, the reason why you should pay attention to varieties that do well in the region.
