Hello, I'm Kevin and I'm brand-spanking new to the forum. I been gardening most of my life and I been doing it commercially for over a decade now. Are there any other members on here that grow for a living? I am new to the forum world and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to exchange ideas and techniques with other gardeners.

Last year I had a phenomenal year. Northeastern Ohio had amazing weather condition for gardening. Of course not perfect conditions... we all know it never is. I did take a lot of pictures of my tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc last August. They are posted on my home page. I sure hope this year is just as good if not better!

Even so I sell my produce, I mange my garden just like most home gardeners do. A lot of hands-on work, TLC, heck I talk to my plants when I'm out there.... gets me strange looks sometimes. When my stand runs low on tomatoes, I've been known to go to the garden and tell some dirty jokes to turn 'em red

Well, I'm starting to ramble on now so I better quit while I'm ahead. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and looking forward to participating!

I am living the dream, growing and selling produce. There's pictures of my garden, produce and produce stand on my home page. You can check them out here. My largest garden is at least a couple of acres that I farm by hand, by myself, part-time. Like I said... living the dream

Yes, there certainly are other growers here who do it for more than a hobby.
