Hello from New Jersey, USA

A friend in a group on Facebook told me about these boards, and I'm so excited! I AM Mrs. Tomato Head (my hubby is Mr. Tomato Head) and tomatoes are my passion!

We are in zone 6b and are growing 70 varieties and 100 plants this year. Seedlings are taking off well!

Happy to be here!

70 varieties....you are in the right place! Welcome. Are you an early starter with that many varieties? I didn't start any yet, maybe later today though...

I'm in a little town called Asbury (not Asbury Park) which is in western, NJ in Hunterdon County. 10 minutes from Clinton.

Yes, we started almost 3 weeks ago. Bottom two rows are peppers and eggplant, but not for long. Need to separate the tomato seedlings this weekend which will take up the entire shelving unit and basically my entire basement. Every single seed germinated, and we put two in each. It's going to be attack of the killer tomatoes very soon!
