hello
Hi all, Russ from high desert of New Mexico. Been growing mainly tomatoes and chiles and doing plenty of experimenting on the best and most suitable tomatoes for our climate. It stays quite chilly here on summer nights so that makes for some challenges in tomato growing. I have come to the realization that in order to get a good crop here one needs to use season extenders such as wallowaters or kozycoats.
Chiles seem to be better adapted to our cool dry climate than tomatoes.
Anyway, glad to be here!

Re: hello
Welcome to TJ. I Love Santa Fe, NM and prior to Covid made it there 2-3 times a year. All those great chilis and New Mexican food, walking around the plaza and surroundings, hiking up above the city, the farmer’s market there in Santa Fe, the scenery, I love pretty much everything there. Lot’s of beautiful tomatoes come through that market, seems like the growers I talked to were out around Espanola that is a little lower than Santa Fe. Look forward to your postings, I might someday move up there, somewhere up there in Northern New Mexico.

Re: hello
welcome from da U.P.
the northern upper peninsula of michigan.
we have some what cooler summers than the rest of the state that can make
tomato, and pepper growing a challenge, but we always seem to get some.
might get a green house at some point. for now, everything is grown in ground
plus a few pots in the "truck garden" in the bed of my rust bucket truck.
