Hello from Thousand Oaks, CA
Former Tomatoville member, starting fresh with a new name.
I mostly grow in containers and Earthboxes, except for the past couple of years I've been over Winter growing garlic in the ground with pretty good results. I also have a couple almond trees and just put in a few bare root blackberries along the fence. This was my second year for the almonds and harvested a whole 10 almonds last season! Saved them for a special occasion and enjoyed them on Christmas day.
I'm a couple weeks away from tomato and pepper seed starting and as always not sure which varieties to grow this year. I always have 2 regulars in pots, Husky Red and Sugary Hybrid which do well and stay relatively small, so will probably continue that tradition.
Looking forward to some tomato talk this year.

Hi Bronx. Go over and see my free seed offer and photo thread, then you'll really be confused as to what to grow!Bronx wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:22 am Former Tomatoville member, starting fresh with a new name.
