Hello from Tacoma, Washington
Hi,
My name is Steve. I started gardening four years ago. I do my gardening in a single 4 X 8 raised bed, a 4 X 4, and many 5-7 gallon nursery pots. Tomatoes are my favorite thing to grow. This year I grew 15 varieties from seed, 10 of them being dwarfs. I also greatly enjoy growing garlic. While the Pacific Northwest climate causes some restrictions on growing tomatoes, almost all garlic grows great here! I look forward to the sharing and learning that goes on at a site like this. I have 170 packets of tomato seed to send in to the MMMM swap, and am looking forward to many surprises in return.

[mention]steve ok[/mention] Welcome Steve...it looks like you are going to have to add some more raised beds and pots after your MMMM packet arrives. 
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter, that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Welcome to the Junction Steve. So glad that you have found us. Yep you will be needing more beds and pots soon especially after you get your Mostly Mystery Mater Mailing mailer back.

Welcome steve, from the uk

Welcome Steve.
Sorry, can't help you with pots.
All I have is this one lousy chum bucket.

Welcome from Woodinville, WA just about an hour north of you. 2020 was an especially trying year for tomatoes, but I was still able to harvest over 100lbs of them this year!
