Discovered this forum doing a search for tomato BERot. Seems to be a lot of friendly and helpful folks here. Some forums are edgy and plain weird. Gardeners are another species, it appears.
I'm 78 y/o male, married for 35 years...and did not find Better Half until I was 40+ Started gardening in 1968 when I moved from S.F. to Sonoma county, CA and rented a cabin on a 500 acre ranch. Owners were in S.F. and came up on weekends. I would do some ranch chores and keep their vegetable garden & landscaping up while they were gone. Later on, I worked in a grape grafting greenhouse....gardener for the city of Napa, CA and lastly as a gardener for the city of S.F.
We moved from Petaluma area to Oregon in 2006 and landed on 2.5 rural acres. Home was built in 1993 and came with mature landscaping. A cold, rainy winter and spring has slowed us down a bit on our box bed veggie garden. Snap peas in the bed about 40-50 days ago...and just now pods are coming.

Thanks for listening....there is a LOT of reading for me to do...and no doubt, some questions and comments...a bit later.
