Happy to have found everyone again!

Hi!
I'm happy to have found where everyone went, and see so many names I recognize from years past!

I am still a novice tomato gardener, but I do grow my own and save seeds. I can only fit about 20 plants per year in my city yard, and that's enough to eat our fill, make some salsa, share with friends, neighbours and hopefully this year the local foodbank our church manages. Aside from tomatoes I love growing many greens, peppers, radishes are my new obsession. And if I have time I'll plant a few flowers, I guess? Also passionate about cooking foods and fermenting!

Favourite tomatoes are purple, orange and yellow - especially cherries! But I always grow a few " normal" red ones for my husband. Had a few rough years after a serious basement flood, personal illnesses and life stuff...trying to rebuild my confidence in gardening again. :)

Love to chat, and swap seeds when I can!

Hi Lindy, welcome to the Junction from Tennessee! I hope your new beds do great for you, this year! :)

Fermenting is great - there's a whole forum about it on here, somewhere...

Thanks [mention]HenriSportif[/mention] for pointing me to the fermenting forum, I'm still finding my way around! I mostly do full sour dill pickles, curdito, kimchi, and sometimes other things like carrots, radishes, etc. Tried Kombucha, Kefir, etc. but felt like it was way more work than it was worth, couldn't drink enough to keep up!

Welcome, Lindy! :)

I love radishes, too. I need to plant them more often. It's too bad now isn't the time to grow spring radishes: They could be done before I seed my tomatoes! :) Maybe I'll plant a few anyway and see what happens. It's a warm winter, after all, so far.

Hi there lindy, big welcome from the uk.
The behaviour of light means you observe me as i was then, and not as I am now.
I cannot change history, so I do hope i gave you a good impression of myself

Haven't tried pickling radish yet, but this past season I pickled Madras and Rattail pods. Probably wouldn't bother with the rattail again. Cortido and kraut are hubby's favorite; I think mine are the turnips and rutababaga, or peppers... we like it all! If I can grow it I'll probably try to pickle it eventually. :D
