Greetings from Frigid Kansas
Hello everyone .... I'm Magic_Mike .... Some of you might recognize me by the names Shell or Harry_Dangler on other forums. I expect I've swapped or provided seeds to some of you over the years. It's great to be on board here. I am an old person. I have been growing tomatoes for almost 40 years and have an extensive seed database/inventory. I grow here in 6A Kansas. I have 37 raised beds (mostly 4' x 8') and typically grow 30-40 varieties per year (no more than 100 total plants). In recent years, I have devoted more time to growing superhot peppers and I have a quite extensive seed database/inventory of those as well. I dabble in sales but for the most part I raise for personal consumption and seed. It's good to be here and I hope to interact with you.
Many people have eaten food from my kitchen and have gone on to lead normal, healthy lives.

cold and snowy here, but march is just around the corner. it will still be cold and snowy,

Welcome! I'll see your frigid & raise you one.
Quite a few well-seasoned gardeners here, self included. My BIL is a farmer just outside of Mullinville KS.
