Hey Guys,

I’m Zach, I’m a 25 year old grower out of columbia SC. I’ve been growing and selling heirloom tomatoes for about 6 years now. This year I plan to plant out 240 plants, all Heirloom and dwarf varieties!

Welcome to the Junction from Down Under @ZachSandersMusic. Yes it's good to hear that the younger ones are gardening. You will find lots of information here, lots of folks who like assisting others with problems and then there is the MMMM. Have fun.........

Welcome from America's Dairyland!

But a word to the wise: Expect that 240 plants number to...um...evolve (as in Upward!) once the TJ Enablers get around to suggesting any number of varieties you's just can't live without...

On that subject; you's ever try Pink Magic or Pink Gift from Bulgaria...?

Welcome to a "neighbor" across the Savannah River from the Augusta area! You've landed in the right place to add to your growing and selling efforts. :)

Welcome Zack.

At 25 years old, you have the youth and positive energy to grow 240 plants. As a word of caution, growing 240 plants may not be 2X the effort of growing 120.

At some point, the numbers can take their toll on the mind and body.

On a side note, today I will be updating the Dwarf category on the MMMM master list of tomatoes. ;)

Welcome. Just spent a little time in Columbia on New Years Eve. Kicked around the lovely gardens at the Hampton Preston House. Great place to garden
