Hello all!

[barriehie]

Hi there! Just this year because semi-retired which leaves a lot more time for meals and prep. Had a garden this year with a few tomatoes, chili's, squash and watermelons so I can go with a more "I picked this" approach with my food! Looking forward to increasing my skill set and sharing what I know.

Sounds like a fantastic garden. That's something I dearly miss doing.

Welcome aboard

Thank you Linda. It's an ever expanding project.

Thank you Linda. It's an ever expanding project.

That it is. But I'll tell you what, there's nothing better than a homegrown tomato. I remember being in my tomato garden pulling weeds and checking for ripe maters and I would pull one off the vine and eat it like an apple while I was gardening.

Only had a few plants this year but next year it's going from 100 square feet to a tad over 700. A daily pick...

Hi barriehie, Welcome to DC.

 

[Badjak]

Welcome
Looks like we have another chili lover on board

 

[barriehie]

Thank you all very much! Yes, loves chili's.

I always end up with lots of chili's. Eat as many as I can the rest get frozen or give away to those that can't have a garden.

Welcome! You will love it here.
I agree that it is very satisfying when you cook with produce that you have nurtured yourself and it mostly tastes better than the swill you find in the supermarket.
