Not yet oooooo.........but very soon. tnx

STEP 1:
Choose the right variety of tomato you like to grow. Get viable seeds of your choice from good source. Avoid failure before starting. Bad seeds give no good result.
I select F1 Cobra. I got that of Technisem. Only 1g was bought. .......expecting around 250 seeds from it.

STEP 2:
Nursery preparation...........coming soon

Thanks for this thread.

I would think that to do proper justice to this one, you need to discuss the seed types available and let your audience know what to look out for in selecting their seeds.

@Edentis........ noted. tnx

Interesting, am following! !

There are alot of innovations being used for setting a good nursery. My nursery is a simple local one whereby a raised bed of about 1m × 2m is used. We hand-pick all forms of rubbles. we make a loose layer of bed free of impurity. The seeds were evenly spread on it, covered lightly with sand followed by palm fronds. Then we watered it generously.

OK u did broadcasting mtd, I used drilling mtd. You see a straight line across the first bed, that is where the seeds are been drop, covered slightly with soil, cover with palm font and water.
more pix will be uploaded after germination........

@soloxam........this is just 1g of seeds. the space provided is even more than enough. but the furrow method is also good. I used furrow method for my carrot. tnx

counting days.................. for germination and emergence. On Friday night,(15-5-15, the fourth day) the palm fronds were lifted. There was good record of even emergence. Pix later pls

Day 7

Inseticide sprayed around the nursery to deter insect invassion............. still counting days
