The 5 things I have learned is all good advice, glad you put it into words.
I really like point #2 Grow what grows in your neck of the woods!
With thousands of varieties to choose from that can be a bit of a challenge, but worth it.
I sell tomato plants from my backyard greenhouse and my customers love my chosen varieties. BUT before any plant is "sold" the plant must be grown in my test garden first for a year or two. The matters are tasted by many people to find that OMG taste. When I do find a keeper I save the seeds and the plants grown from my saved seeds seem to do better than many seeds purchased from a store bought source. My customers are thrilled to buy my plants because ... Joe your plants are the best ... and I like that.
So point #2 is near and dear to my heart, along with all the rest.
Joe
