This my second time of hearing about this type of tomato for the first time the same day. How come I haven't seen them in the market all those time I visit the market? At least I do see the long ochumbo pepper. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Waoow frontpage already.....well what the op wrote up there is so true and lemme even add mine... 1. it is easy to cultivate as compared to the regular tomato. 2. it is nutritional than normal tomatoes. 3. it is lower in quantity than the regular tomatoes because of it's lower yeilds. all these statement are facts because i currently have it planted in my backyard and it's even bringing out fruit but not yet ripe for consumption. and lastly why is it that any thing thats just related to snake is immediately pused to frontpage with the speed of light. anyway i guess it's all about the traffic and the money for nairaland anyway. 24 Likes |
