It's great to have you "prowling around" and I hope you keep it up. Would especially love to have you visit the wild mushroom posts ( in the drop down under "in the wild," and I hope maybe even contribute a recipe or two! Interesting to hear about your tomatoes, cold really was a plague for us all, completely apart from the blight. Welcome Tatiana,

I'm completely with you on thinning. I hate it - it feels like murder and it's extra work. Even as a completely newbie gardener, I dispensed with that habit year 2. I only plant as far apart as I need to, and I take it a step further and only plant one seed per spot. I find with the excellent seed purveyors I shop from I have an unadvertised 90% germination rate, and way less work. I'd rather add a seed later for any gaps if I have to and have a staggered harvest than muck around with thinning. So… I’m completely with you on thinning.
