Hi gals and guys (is it positive discrimination if I mention the girls first? Maybe Steev can elaborate on this)
Anyway, I think it's about time for a formal introduction. And a sincere acknowledgement for your input.

Hola, verdeperto; I've no idea why I could elaborate on that, being positively undiscriminating.
So, where do you hang out?

verdeperto: Welcome. Seems like your climate is much warmer than mine. What do you love growing?

Steev, I was referring to your witty remarks. My place is in the center of Portugal, with something like a 9B mediterranean climate.
So yes Joseph, a lot warmer. Generally speaking, I really like Summer crops but am shifting towards growing more and more perennials.
cheers

Hi all. I've been lurking for a while, enjoying the discussions on this forum, and figured I should introduce myself.
I'm living and gardening in Seattle, Washington (USA) and have some small raised beds in my back yard. I also volunteer with a local urban farm, where I can pursue some larger vegetable breeding projects.
Right, so I'm in to vegetable breeding. I read Carol Deppe's "Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties" the winter before last and got the bug pretty bad. My current projects involve cilantro/coriander, dry beans, oca, and potatoes. My daydreams involve many more projects than I could ever do.
So far, being at the front end of multi-year breeding projects, I haven't done much more than murder a bunch of plants and get a few F1s, but I'm having a blast.
I'll post some details on individual threads.

Welcome, yankee . Tell us what you're growing down in the Florida panhandle. Does your area stay warm enough for a winter crop of tomatoes?
