Hi from Ontario

Hello from the snow belt of Ontario (zone 4b-5). Under snow cover for half the year, I have most success with varieties under 75 days. (80 days is pushing it, but sometimes I try!) A gardener of 30+ years, I have grown so many nondescript tomatoes, it is sad. So many tomatoes, not enough time so I'm making up for it -- 30 varieties last year, about 40 this coming season. I hope everyone has a great season -- looking forward to growing and getting out in the garden.

Welcome to the Junction MissTee from MissS. I agree that early varieties can be rather bland. It sounds like you have expanded your garden and have lots to tell.

Thanks for the warm welcome. From mountain to desert to snow, I see we all have our own unique relationship with Mother Nature.

Welcome to the forum. I have many fond memories of fishing in Ontario years and years ago.

I've just arrived here too (though a long time member at the "other" forum) and in southwestern Ontario. I can fit only 20 tomatoes in my yard at a time, because the rest of my family and the dog use the yard too. Hahaha!
I would love to know what grows really well for you in your area. And if you save seeds and ever want to swap, I always love to send out seed mail.
