I think you’re responding to yourself.

Grew up working on a tater farm. Sweet taters and Irish taters.

We’re in process of moving further north and my girl is excited to try container gardening again.

I prefer heirloom seed or hardware start plants grown traditionally.

It’s been a long time since I’ve grown much of anything other than cacti, native ornamentals, and fungi. It’s a kind of work I swore off for a long time.

Just bought a play farm, will probably grow some tomatoes. Have apple trees, blueberries, and a small vineyard I need to learn.

Have always heard good things about Brandywine tomatoes.

Won’t be this year, but we’ll be trying some varieties.

Roma, we called Romies, were my favorite as a kid. Canned tomato soup and sauce always smelled amazing and the stuff in stores doesn’t compare.

Best judge of a tomato is to slice it up, add too much salt, and eat it with a fork.
