I did not set out to plant tomato at the beginning. My plan was to plant palm trees and plantain together. But got my fingers burnt through the supplier of the palm(story for another thread)

I got 6.5 acres my friend also joined me with 10 acres totalling 16.5 acres. With plan to plant tomato all year round.

We have started and will be sharing my experience here.

I quote jethro2

don't go into farming if you can't invest your time it's not about money

Farming is not a get rich quick syndrome, it's hard work that pays

I quote Oluwunmi

You must be ready to get your hands dirty

Since you are going into all-year cultivation, l should believe you have made provisions for irrigation.

We are all learning in a big way.
I have got my fingers burnt several times but I am not relenting.
Each day brings in new opportunities to explore and ventures into.
I wish you great luck and success in the tomato farm because you need a lot of it.

Additional land clearing

Tomato is hardwork in the South of the country. You can certainly get them to grow but getting a decent yield all year round will be a major challenge.

Pepper should hold forth better promise.

Goodluck all the same and I pray you get a decent reward for your work.
