Hi all, I'm probably the newest memeber of this forum, and I'd just like to extend my greetings to everyone here!
However, on an interesting note, I'm probably the only (or one of very few) here who are around my age or share similar interests.
A little bit about myself:
My name is Wilson, I'm 15 years old and I live in SoCal. I probably don't fit the gardening type, being techno-savy (I build computers, modify, and program), an extremely busy student (All AP classes, summer school, SAT prep, band, boy scouts....etc.), and a certified car nut
Why, you may ask, then, would I ever join a gardening forum?
The answer may lie in the genes :p
My grandma (who came from China) always liked to garden and such. I spent (and still do) alot of time with my her, so that ever since I was a toddler, I had always been helping out in the backyard, planting things, watching them grow.
After a long and stressful day of school, I often find that the most relaxing thing to do is to go out in the backyard and tend to my
plants, or wath my tomatoes ripen
Nothing beats picking a tomato off the vine, brushing off the dirt and eating it fresh. But, anyway, no matter how busy i get these days, I still find some time to go out and garden.
As of late, I have taken up a special interest in my gardening, and sometimes I find that suddenly, while sitting in class, the onl thing I can think of is tomatoes
So I embarked on an adventure to become the most sucessfull tomato grower in my neighborhood. In my mad rush to research as much information as possible about
growing tomatoes, I stumbled upon this forum, which has been able to provide me with invaluable information, and the memebers seem exceedingly knowledgeable (more so than other forums) so, I decided that, rather than simply read the posts on this forum, why don't I just take the plunge and join! So I did, and I don't think I'll ever regret it.
Again, I'd like to say hi to all the memebers of this forum, and if there really is anyone here around my age, let me know!
