First I will like to thank you all Nairalanders, especially the agricultural section from Pavore9, Jethro, lordhugo, organicfarming, kizyte, soloxam, world 1, hybrid veggies, that thai cucumber man (can't remember his moniker) and all others.

I started following this section from Jethro tomatoes millionaire thread, then lordhugo cucumber and other experiments, then kizyte tomatoes garden. It was Jethro that first ginger my passion but her regular warning of "start small" and d fear of tuta absolutla slows/caution me down.

Then kizyte brought his thread with that his clean garden. Wow, I said I can do this too and I started looking for seeds, I called soloxam for seed but I didn't follow it up but I decided to visit a agro shop in my area, the guy said he does not have tomatoes seed that if it's little I want I should just take from the one my wife wants to use for soup.

To cut the story short, I made my nursery July 15 or so, but my first pic was taken July 23

Then the journey started, I've only used 1/2 of my plot for building and the remaining half is idle, I always go through trouble of weeding or spraying, but with this adventure that trouble is no more, but here comes goats trouble as I don't have fence yet.

I ask some guys to make vegetable ridges for me but the guy made yam ridges. I had to get someone else to redo it. I transplanted, the rain was in abundance, I managed to weed once, it's not an easy task. Later I noticed some leaves turning yellow, I showed it to a guy, he gave me very small quantity zforce to mix with sniper and spray, that's all.

I tried to weed the garden once more but couldn't do two ridges. But thank God they have started flowering then.

Fast forward to mid October, I started picking ripe tomatoes. And since then like 2 days interval I've been picking ripe and nice fruits.

I tried sack/vertical planting too, I made like 5 cement bags, they do well too.

wow...nice

With this I've been so impressed and motivated, there's an empty plot of land beside my house, I will contact the owner and start a farm, I want to do tomatoes and also cucumber.
I have bought tomatoes seed online too and some pepper I'll post the pic too.

My point for opening this thread is to appreciate you guys here and motivate you more, to let you know you are making impact, I've been looking for time to post this since but always one excuse or the other, I know a lot others too I've been started theirs and some are planning and some are contemplating. Pls there is no better time, just do something, even if it's in a bucket on your courtyard or backyard, Pls do something. I've been eating fresh tomatoes for Weeks now, my neighbors and colleagues at work are also benefiting. I'm saving money and following my passion.

So to you my mentors in the house thank you,
@Pavore9, I always like your comments.
Jethro, kalusam, kizyte, @all. Thanks

Seeds I bought online

I have so much now I have to store inside freezer

@Kizyte, thanks. I've already bought like 3 different species, I'm waiting for this present batch to stop fruiting then start a new batch

@ a stage i transfered them to cups, i used disposable cups and some water bottles (just like kizyte did his own), i used shovel to lift them in bunch and and then picking one by one into cups. they were well grown up before i started transplanting them to the bed.

Well done and your post is encouraging. Please I would like to know if you had to do anything to the seeds you got from your kitchen or if you just planted them straight. Thanks

weldone

This is very very superb
