Nigerian man abroad shows off tomato harvest
According to him, he hasn’t visited the market in weeks because he has been using tomatoes straight from his farm, which is just behind his house.
The Tiktok user @kollinzwoods_, proudly showed off his garden while explaining and despite not buying from the market, he said:
“I have enough tomatoes to feed on.”
The post carried a caption that read:
“Guys, you can see, today I have a full bowl. There are still some left there that’ll be ripe maybe in 2 days as usual. Every two days, I harvest almost this quantity, but I must confess, today is the most I have harvested in one day. This is just one day, I have a bunch of tomatoes.”
Speaking about how long he has gone without purchasing tomatoes, he explained:
“For the past 3 weeks, I have not bought tomatoes in the market because I always have enough supply. How many of you can use this to cook a pot of stew? Of course, it’s too much for that, so you can imagine how long it’ll take me to finish this. It’s all from this farm.”

“My brother, imagine that. I have been harvesting that every 2 days. I have so much now that I have to blend, steam and store in my freezer.”
Kollinz shared:
‘You can start with planting them in a small perforated disposable cup filled with good soil. This helps you monitor it easily because cups can be on a table closer to you. Wet daily. When it germinates and grows for about 2 weeks, you can neatly transplant. Good luck.”
