Hello everyone.


I happened upon this website and am glad I did. Alot to learn and alot of ideas I'm going to use this year.

This is my second year growing tomatoes, last year I had about 13 varieties (all home depot/lowes products)
This year I ordered some seeds from Wild Boar and primarily will grow their varieties. I will be trying some from the dwarf project as well. I'm also going to try out the new purple GMO if I can get it.

thank you to all the members of this blog who have posted their advice and knowledge for us newbies to learn from

Welcome to the forum. :)
I bet you're going to love the Wild Boar and the dwarf project tomatoes. Bred for great taste!
Let us know what you think of the purple GMO.

Hello and welcome to the Junction @sleepy man. This is a great place to learn and share your gardening experiences.

I won't ever be growing any GMO's but I will be interested in hearing about them.

Welcome from the Land of Cheese and Beer...LOTS_N_LOTS of both!

One more thing.

If you's think that The TJ Enablers will allow you's to limit yer varieties to a mere 13, you's got another thing coming.

Welcome from Kentucky. Along with MissS, not to enthralled with GMO's. But In our great country, people are free to make choices. Next year, you will probably be knee-deep in all kinds of tomatoes. You have just become an addict.
