OP Duke Webb Junior Member D Joined: Jan 2006 Merritt Island, Fl	New member here. I am a vegetable gardner. If you can not eat it, I am not growing it! Because of my location I plant and grow during the winter and compost my raised beds during the summer. I have limited space which I have to share with my spouse, who loves her flowering plants. I have read through the older posts and found several usable tips already. Just glad I found this site. Duke

I am curious why you grow in the winter and is there anything special you have to do or if your season just lends itself to winter gardening. And also what are you growing? Lots of questions for what I intended to be just a hello! Hope to see you around the Forum.

I grow tomatoes (Better Boy), peppers and onions. I grow during the winter because it works better for me. Less bugs and the plants produce better. Plus I have to have some down time to do my composting. Gardening is a great stress reliever. Duke
