Hello from East Yorkshire, England

Thank you for accepting me onto Tomato Junction.

My name is Kate and I have far too many varieties of tomato seeds! I have a very small garden but I manage to grow about 20 varieties per year. I live near the coastal town of Hornsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire. In terms of US growing zones, it's Zone 9-ish. You can also find me on various tomato-related groups on FB. I might even already know some of you from there. :)

My perfect tomato is 45-70g, laughs in the face of storms and packs a punch to the taste buds. Apart from tomatoes, I like cats, dogs, my husband, my children, wine, France, foolishly large oriental poppies and using my breadmaker.

welcome kate from michigans snowy upper peninsula.

eaten by weasels sounds rather frightening, not so bad as
eaten by a grizzly bear, or tiger or a velociraptor.

Indeed, velociraptors are a clear and present danger along the beach on a morning. Hello, Keith. :D

We have a bleak, desolate beauty with huge skies. Much underrated. Do pop back before we all fall into the sea!
