Hello and greetings to all.

Another somewhat old gardening hand here with over 45 years under his belt if you want to count childhood gardening alongside dad.

This year will be my tamest with some seed i had dug up from years ago, along with a storebought start:

Brandyboy, a regular, seed.
Druzba, old seed
Thessaloniki, old seed
Ashleigh, old seed
Park whopper, store bought start

Am also into heart tomatoes both pink & red types, many pepper types over the years, cukes etc etc.

But anyway, am glad to be here now!

Thank you everyone, hadn't had a tomato home base in years, the welcomes are all appreciated. Will also look to participate in the general gardening subforum to discuss peppers and other things.

Thank you, I do have a bit to share, much of it is probably familiar to most though. My favorite plants and workhorses are often local US types, but have much experience with European and Latin American vegetables as well.

Regards,
Steve.
