Mind uploading a picture? Meanwhile, there's little or nothing to worry about when your tomatoes leaves or folding up. I do experience it once in a while especially when I forget to water the plants over a period of time. Then I noticed it all boils down to water moisture issues. Although some varieties are notorious for curling up . Nevertheless, feed your tomatoes very well and observe all the necessary guides in growing them. Above all, know your variety, it gives possible outcomes to a certain degree.

Peace.

Yampotatocarrot:
Very concise schedule. Thanks for this. However, if I may ask, all these NPKs with different ratios, are they substitutes to the hiafa bonus n Di-grows that we have, or are they to be used together?

jidestroud:
Hi, what exactly do you mean by very slow?. Do you mean the tomato sprouted seeds? How many days or weeks are they now? Pictures won't be a bad idea too.

jidestroud:
Padma right? Well, so many factors comes into play when choosing your tomato variety most of which is; what time of the season are you growing? (Dry or Rainy season). Padma and Cobra are basically same to me if you ask me (my opinion though) although padma f1 are specifically grown for rainfed.

And for the Sakata, which of their products? Sakata is more of a brand abi? Just like Technisr or east west seeds.

Note: irrespective of the variety grown, a thorough program must be adhered to when growing tomatoes (fungi issues no b moi-moi ooooo).

I presently have 3 varieties in my garden; Lindo f1, Roma VF and a few local variety

Functionoftime:
That means I should have harvested when it was like this (35days) even when it had the potential of becoming bigger. Is 35days not too early?
I think it's the part exposed to sunlight that's turning yellow. There's this particular one under thick vegetation, with the size of the first picture and it's still green. I'll take a picture when I get to farm today

Functionoftime:
38 days after planting. I have few of them like that. Should I wait for 42days (6 weeks) before harvest when others must have been big enough for harvest or should I harvest the few of them like that? I'm afraid that the big ones must have been overripe before 42 days.

If you go to rich neighbourhoods like Banana Island,Maitama etc you will see very little sign of churches and mosques.

But get into poor neighbourhoods like Ajegunle,Nyanya and everywhere littered with churches.

Is there a special romance between between poverty and religion?

I am a Christian but this special connection between poverty and religion has boggled my mind for a while.

Why are most preachers in public transport piss poor? Why are they usually raggedly, and survive based on the "kindness" of passengers. Mostly Religious beggars. Why?

Will the people preaching the word of God passionately in public transport and by the roadside continue if their lives are swapped with, say, that of Otedola?

Will that love of God still be there? Is their own form of love for God the purerest form is its altrusism?

And the people who scream loudest at churches, those who roll on flaws, those who "do the most".. forgive me for using that term. Why are they mostly very poor, why are they mostly the downtrodden.

Love for God or the circumstantial child of poverty and desperation?

Day 1 - Lindo F1 Tomato Planting (19/02/2019)

Okay, I got to excited this morning and decided to plant straight away before heading to work. (O yeah! I work ). Got some Rio grande, UC 28 B and now Lindo F1 (my first hybrid tomato seed, though I already ordered for the Cobra 26 F1).
Let's see what the Lindo has to offer knowing fully well Rio grande remains my first love .
The 1gram Lindo was able to fill up my 10x20 tray i.e 200 units after planting two seeds per hole. That means I got variably between 400-450 seeds in the sachet . well, worth the price N700 naira.

Let the count down begin. Should be picking up more grow trays on my way back for my cucumbers.

Expenditure so far:
Lindo F1 tomatoes (Technisem) = N700
Nagano F1 cucumber (Technisem) = N800
Tray= N1100 (kind of expensive if you ask me)

Total= N2,600

Contact 08030886296 for Tokyo (Technisem)
Contact 08131899317 for Greengo and Monalis (East West)

Yampotatocarrot:
Thanks for this. Pointsett n Marketer are a no no for me, though someone said they have better resistance or so.

I think I'll find out the price for Tokyo and Greengo, haven't heard of Monalisa before, beautiful name it has though.(There use to be this guy that sells seeds on nairaland then o?

My first dry season farming met with near disaster because of whiteflies. This is one of the most difficult pests to control!!!

From my reaearch, I found out the following solutions: bifenthrin, IGR Buprofezin, spiromesifen, cyantraniliprole, NEEM oil, whitefly fungal pathogens, whitefly sex pheromone, spirotetramat. who knows where i can buy any of them?
.
Note: imidacloprid, which i hav access to, work very well as a soil drench on seedlings. But dont use it when the plant is weeks to flowering. It is Very dangerous to bees.

How many days interval for irrigating cucumber.... Should it be an every evening something?

(Note: planted on land, not in sack)

I will not cultivate cucumber again without employing permanent workers. Staking is painfully slow. pls how do you pay your workers?
