Hello From Jersey!

Hello! I joined last year but never posted. I'm from NJ and we're not brand new gardeners, but still somewhat new. We are brand new empty nesters with 2 boys in the U.S. Navy. Now we have more time to dedicate to our garden. Last year we grew maybe 40+ varieties and had a few hits and a lot of misses, and we know was probably because of overwatering and we probably grew milder varieties.

The last 2 years, we followed Mark's Garden Life to help us choose varieties, but since he doesn't make videos anymore, I asked AI to help me based on what I was looking for (bold Jersey tomato flavor), and this is what we're growing and I'm probably forgetting a few. Thank you for having me, I love this forum!
