I transplanted the tomato plants about 70 days ago (after 30 days in the nursery), and the very first harvest was so encouraging. Although the process was followed meticulously, with persistence and endurance, all I an do is smile and thank God.

Oh, okay. Thanks, and hope it wasn't too expensive? Been thinking of getting bamboo here too in Osun state but was told that there is now an association of bamboo people whose services you will employ if you need bamboos.

Still working on that tho, but I want to cover the market in my immediate environment first, then we go bigger. Although I don't mind selling to Lagos now if I can get a good link that is ready to come pick it up here. There's the potential of producing over 400 crates.

This surrounding looks like a residential area. How do you cope with security of the farm?
