Hello from San Diego

I just found this site :) I started at Garden Web and then to another tomato site that seems to be faltering. I recognize a lot of names here. I don't post a lot but I do generally read every day. My first impressions are positive. The ads are well controlled and acceptable. I prefer them to a paid subscription.

Welcome to the forum! I was born in San Diego - must be the reason I love chiles, even though I was only there for 6 months. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Welcome!
My family visited SD in December, what a beautiful city and lovely climate. I'm in love with all the succulent gardens! Would love to hear how vegetables perform there.

Thanks for all of the welcomes :) I am not in the city itself but in San Diego north county about ten miles from the coast. The weather is great most of the time. There are a few days each year when the wind blows from the desert and it is hot and dry and we have to watch out for wildfires :( We use the air conditioner about two weeks per year. We don't use central heat although my neighbors do. I grew up in New Jersey...I don't miss the winters.

I have grown vegetables but just tomatoes and summer squash now. I do well with squash in containers and the tomatoes do well in the ground. Water and gophers are the challenges. We get no rain in the summer. I have good success with drip. My avocadoes and citrus do well.

I had to look on Google Maps and couldn't find a rancho sante fe drive. We are a little over ten miles from the north end of rancho sante fe road but it looks like it extends for about twenty miles. I would say we are in the same neck of the woods but not neighbors.

I agree about the character of the site. It is one of about a dozen sites I visit every day (4 forums).

I'd trade your challenges for mine! Heat, humidity, too much rain during the summer plus all sorts of bugs and fungal diseases :lol:
