"Since we are not affected by frost, does that mean i can grow tomatoes or any other plant all year round?"

Possibly but there are many other factors involved other than just frost. For example, excessive heat can also negatively effect tomato plants.

But no it does not mean you can grow any other plant all year round. Different crop have very different climate needs. So while it might work for tomatoes and peppers it would not work for things like lettuce, spinach, broccoli, beans, etc. You have to learn the environmental needs for each separate crop. Lots of homework to do. ;-)

I grew tomatoes year round in my window . I live in Canada , and most plants die with the frost. Others become dormant as the daylight lessens . All our trees except the evergreen ones loose their leaves as the daylight hours become less. Tomatoes were originally from Mexico and will grow year round. They have two types , indeterminant ,and determinant. The indeterminant are the ones which will produce tomatoes all the time3 , the determinant ones produce loads at the same time and are good if you are going to can a bunch of them. I got that info from google . You might want to double check on this as I have no experience with detrerminant and indeterminant b. I always bought indeterminant.

Good luck .

Going strictly by your very moderate temperatures, tomatoes should do very well year-round.

However, other factors play into it, and I suspect that rain will probably determine the best parts of the year for growing tomatoes. Tomatoes succumb quickly to disease under extended humid and rainy conditions, and too dry is difficult for them as well (although if not too hot, too dry better than too wet, as long as you can water them enough).

There may also be seasonal pest issues unique to your location which most of us on this forum may not be familiar with.

Since you are new to gardening, I would suggest you try to see whether a local university near you or government agency has an agricultural program that provides information to home gardener and small farmers.

You can also do your own experiments for fun, planting at different times and seeing when your tomatoes do better.

Forums like this can then help you find answers to more specific questions that crop up once you get the big picture about gardening locally where you are. And, of course, there are some constants that will not change regardless of location.

I hope you have a lot of fun gardening and that you let us know how things are going and what you learn. Is tomato growing common as a hobby there or as a crop that small farms or families might grow? Are there specific types of heirloom tomatoes unique to your region, or is commercial hybrid seed more common?

Thanks for the advice gorbelly. Really helpful. Small farmers and families here depend on the government. Once upon a time, Angola was a great Agriculture nation. After 30 years of civil war people now leave in the city and work either with the Oil or diamond sector.So we literally import 80% of our food. I just want to contribute what i can so food becomes less cheap here.
