Hello from Northern Il. USA. Its below zero here with lots of snow, a good time to plan next seasons garden. I am a fan of Marks videos on You Tube and just began looking around this site. I have a great interest in growing heirloom tomatoes, fermenting, primitive brewing methods, and anything that makes me self sufficient. I hope to share some of my knowledge as well as gain more on this site. Merry Christmas!! 2015-08-01 17.39.11-4.jpg

Oi there Mikie, welcome to the group. I have never experience an extreme cold weather before. I often wonder how it is for you guys and our Canadian friends.

You got some great interests there. To be self-sufficient is a great goal, Again,… welcome.

Hello from Northern Il. USA.
Hi @Mikielives and thanks for joining us!

Sorry I didn't welcome you earlier but it's a crazy time of year and I've been so busy it's hard to keep up with everything!

I'm crazy about tomatoes also - they're probably my favourite thing to grow in the patch and as you probably already know I'm into fermenting etc too :)

Feel free to share your knowledge here and interact on the various subjects throughout our forums and thanks again for joining our community.

Hi @Mikielives and thanks for joining us!.
Thanks Mark. I have been watching your videos on YouTube for maybe a year now. I always look forward to the next one even if it may not be pertinent to where I live. You have a passion and a genuine interest in self sufficiency. Although you have a great knowledge of growing things plant and animal, you are hungry for more knowledge and this is what makes you a good teacher. I am so excited that I found this site and people who's passion is to provide for themselves. My hat off to you sir! :thumbsup:

Welcome to the site Mikie! The tomatoes look great. The snow... well. you'd need a big shed that you could still work in I guess?
Yhanks Stevo. Yep, got a roomy work shop to keep me busy.
