irynterri: Sorry for the late response. I'm not too familiar with Abuja agro seeds markets but sure can get anything you want from the comfort of your home. Nairaland is also a good source with credible people you can source/buy from. On the issue of pricing, I already stated in the thread how much everything costs. Thanks. |

jidestroud: I chatted with the sales rep of the company (Thai Agro Allied) and i was assured that the seed they gave me was hybrid seed, personally i have not seen or tried any other Cabbage seed before. Maybe i will have to try a Technisem Cabbage seed to compare the results. |

Day 77: (Tomato blossoms into fruits ) Finally goodnews, after the first disaster encountered with the first set of tomato plants due to the excessive downpours which later resulted to a fungi outbreak, I switch over to setting up a few in sacks where I could control the environmental factors giving me setback in achieving success. Yep, it worked like magic. Tomato fruits have stated emerging from the flower blossoms in numbers. Yes oooo...my Rio Degrande loading.... More updates. Tips/Control Measures used: 1. Moving the sacks aways in times of heavy rainfall. 2. I did mulch each plants to prevent splashing of water back on the leaves. (incase of not being around when it rains) 3. Spraying weekly with baking soda and vegetable. 4. I did a little of self-pollination with my hands when I experience blossom drop. 5. Immediate pinching off of any leaves looking sickly or looking abnormal. 6. Pinched off all leaves close to soil (even after mulching each plants.) Added is the picture of my cucumber as requested (Yet to harvest though). 7 Likes

jidestroud: Please, did you sun dried the tomato seeds and Lagos spinach seeds after you soaked it? |
Re: Starting Up My Vegetable Farm Garden From Scratch (ugwu, Tomato, Green-leaf) by jidestroud(m): 3:52pm On Jul 03, 2017 |
kennykg: There are lots of ugu (fluted pumpkin) threads in the agricultural sector. I also strated this thread with ugu (fluted pumpkin), it's doing very well but I suspended it till I do a clean up of the corn, only then will i resume. |
Re: Starting Up My Vegetable Farm Garden From Scratch (ugwu, Tomato, Green-leaf) by kennykg(m): 3:54pm On Jul 03, 2017 |
jidestroud:Checked and searched but no positive result. Would check again. Good work |
Re: Starting Up My Vegetable Farm Garden From Scratch (ugwu, Tomato, Green-leaf) by jidestroud(m): 3:57pm On Jul 03, 2017 |
oyetpel: Nope. I didn't sundry the seeds. I planted directly but I realised both the soaked ones and the ones I planted directly sprouted about the same thing. My conclusion, just plant directly into the nursery and there's really no need for soaking. |
Re: Starting Up My Vegetable Farm Garden From Scratch (ugwu, Tomato, Green-leaf) by oyetpel(m): 4:11pm On Jul 03, 2017 |

damikay87:Looks like a potassium deficiency. It shows up in the oldest leaves which turn yellow and then brown starting from the tips and edges. You can get potassium from the water-soluble fraction of wood ash, relatively large quantities of banana/plantain peels, or a synthetic fertilizer. I hope you can also create a new thread for your garden! 2 Likes |
