Hi all - I joined you a couple of days ago and have been fascinated reading all your posts. Like another new arrival from the UK, galina, I read Carol Deppe's book about plant breeding and it's been all downhill from there! I no longer look at what I need grow to eat, but at what I want to breed from (and all the things I need to grow out and check on of course).
I'm a fairly recent retiree and when not growing vegetables, I make quilts. Indoor and outdoor hobbies - the secret of happiness!
Nice to meet you all and I hope to contribute a bit to the boards as time goes on.

Kath
Yes, Carol Deppe has a lot to answer for! I haven't dared look at the newer edition of her book which is apparently much expanded and updated. It's just too risky LOL
Looking forward to reading all about your garden and your plant breeding. A nice warm quilt is a precious thing in this weather.
Welcome and enjoy!
