Hi,
This Kizyte's thread on growing tomatoes is pretty much self explanatory with many pictures to inspire you too. Just follow it.

For green beans, Its the easiest thing really.
I just put the beans in the ground (or in a big flower pot, as i have a very small backyard space). Ensure you drill some holes at the bottom of the pot to drain out excess water in case plants get waterlogged by rain or watering.

My potting sand consisted of normal planting sand mixed with pig droppings which i got from the farm. Any good manure mixed into the sand will do. Or good planting sand without manure also works.

Once they germinate, put some stakes into the pot (3-4 stakes in a triangle or square formation. I used palm tree stalks). Use twine to connect the stake formation on more than one level to give the beans many anchor points to climb and hang on to as they grow.

As they grow, you just ensure that you guide them to climb around the twine connections you made.

Also ensure that you:
1- water them twice daily;
2- put your plant in a place where they can access sunlight for at least 6 hours.

I find that the advantage of having my plants in a pot is that i can carry them around to good sources of sunlight even though temporarily.

Thats basically it really. The plant pretty much grows itself.

22nd August: Application of Fertilizers

I noticed the lower leaves of my tomatoes were becoming yellowish due to nutrient deficiency from the soil, so I decided to apply the suitable fertilizers.

Note: The yellow leaves do not affect the fruits, tomatoes are growing bigger and fresh everyday.

Nice one sir, I think it's tomato Alternaria blight that is affecting your tomatoes. I also noticed it on a farm I did my vegetable training on. Your tomatoes are doing great and are growing fast unlike the hybrid seeds sold in Nigeria that takes 17- 21 days to nurse and about 2 months to start fruiting.This link might help in managing the blight. www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/tomato/early-blight-alternaria-tomato-leaf-spots-yellow-leaves.htm

This is awesome. keep it up op. Which fertilizer did you use? How did you apply it? Where did you buy it?

This is awesome. keep it up op. which fertilizer did you use, how did you apply it and where did you buy it?

The change in colour may not only be attributed to nutrients deficiency. Like someone mentioned above, check for other possibilities too for better diagnosis.

Kizyte:
Buy 10 packs since you're planting in a large scale, you can mix varieties. I believe each pack contains 100 seeds and is sold at $0.50 per pack.

how much will be 10 packs in naira?

The stake

I planted a tomato seed but it suffers as a result of excess rainfall and it's up to 3 months, no sign of flowers or seed... is there still hope or should I uproot it

So many tinx are attributed to tomatoe production, especially in south west with less sunlight in soil to reduce bacteria.i won't advice anyone to venture into it in an open field in commercial scale directly in the ground if you don't want to die before your time from bacteria blight and loss.pple advicing should explain well for the lay men with little experience. This is where the green house technology and drip irrigation technology comes into play.this is an Eva F1 indeterminate variety.08033981254.

You can't jux request for vegetable fertilizer, I disagree.we have many kind of vegetable fertilizer.the one you will use for leafy vegetables can't be what d ones with fruits will require.yu will use more of urea for leafy veg which is useles with tomatoes and re both vegetables. For instance the stage of your tomatoes, would need more of calmag fertilizer to avoid blossom end rot and potassium nitrate for quality and big fruit

Nnystc:
Thanks for feedback.

Mine are about 2ft tall and like rose bushes. I staked them in the pot too. I bought mostly indeterminate and semi determinate varieties for mine. I also think your idea of providing water and sunlight sources during dry season is genius and will prolong the life of the plant.

Yours are too gorgeous, do everything to ensure that they don't become "one-season wonders"!

I'm following your thread. Please continue to inspire us with progress pictures.

Also if you like to eat them, you can consider planting green beans next for fried rice and salads. I have those too.and took only about 45 days from seed in the ground to produce plentiful and succulent green beans which i use in my kitchen to cook everything from jollof rice to fried rice to spaghetti and even yam dishes.

Please where did you get the green beans seed?
