Mukah1234: Good to hear you want to start. As for what to plant, you can plant anything. What you need to do to is to wer your plants during this dry season we are approaching. I will suggest Tomato, water melon, potato, okra, pepper etc and any type of vege eaten in Ebonyi. As for seeds, i didn't get hybrid seeds, i just purchased seeds from market women selling chemicals, fertilizers, sprayer and other farming tools. Locate market, and check where they sell agricultural equipments, then ask them that you want to buy seeds of different plants you want. Bro cool down your blood, its well. |

Victornezzar: So good to hear, when you start also open a thread so that you can update us on your farm. So many people around my area on seeing my little farm have also started planting on small pieces of land they have. They also said my little garden impressed and inspired them 2 Likes |

Nice work, I envy you. I wish I have experience like you. I have strong passion for agriculture, mostly animal farming but I have also developed interest in crop farming too. I hope one day I find someone that shares/have/understand the same dream I have. 1 Like |

segzypark: Lol funny @paying of house rent!!! Counting your goose before they hatch right? 300 seeds won't even cover a plot (planting of 2 per hole just in case... Spacing inclusive). and you also left out the details of the land...what's the measurement? A plot? Acre? etc. You also made mention of planting other vegetables on the same piece of land (without details). Please and Please, do your survey and feasibility studies well oooo before expecting to pay house rents. And pls factor in unforeseen circumstances such as fire outbreaks and animal encroachment into your feasibility study too. Hahahahahahaha...

babythug: You should have left some to ripe on the tomato plant. The fruit looks like pepper, what type of tomato breed did you plant? |
Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by oyetpel(m): 4:14pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
I am sorry for not updating on this thread for some time now. My potatoes did really, they were so big eh, i forgot to snap pictures of it. Goats are giving me trouble again, they found a way to bypass my bamboo-net fence, they have ate my plantain leaves, pawpaw plants and my potato leaves. Short of find but still finding a way to tighten my garden security. Merry christmas and happy new year in advance |
Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by babythug(f): 4:26pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
oyetpel: ![]() This is pepper harvested from pepper plants! I meant the tomatoes I planted didn't survive, Many of the stalks fell though I haven't weeded them out just left it like that! Don't know the specie oh, just poured water on my garden after washing a basket of tomatoes ![]() ![]() |
Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by oyetpel(m): 4:37pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
babythug: Maybe you should wait till raining season to plant tomatoes again |
Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by babythug(f): 5:18pm On Dec 22, 2017 |
oyetpel: Ok then! |
Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by Munzy14(m): 6:19am On Dec 23, 2017 |
oyetpel:lol. harvesting pepper at that stage is super good. because its packed with different vitamins. but when it gets ripe, it's predominantly vitamin A and probably antioxidant especially the red colouration. either way she harvests is ok. 1 Like |

jidestroud:Happy New Year bro! You will read of the exploits God wiling. I want to try the tomatoes again. Is there anything I should pay attention to? I noticed they started to fall the more I watered them! Can they thrive without water? Did you stake your tomato plants? You can respond on your thread Cheers |
