I have 2 greenhouses and 3 window ledges packed with seedlings, of many varieties, in order to make the most of our short growing season.

I don't have anything started inside yet- all outside. I want to get my tomatoes going, though! Just need to make the time.

Very impressive majorcatfish. I feel like i should click my heels and salute.
Different season in my neck of the woods, I have a few green tomatoes I'm hoping will ripen but that's about it. Should think about winter veg.

no clicking of heels or saluting needed here... vegetable gardening is my mental therapy after a long day at work....

That's also our dream - to have a big garden for therapeutic purposes. But we cannot do that today since we have an office job and our backyard is very small. Maybe when I retire from work, we can afford to buy a 1 hectare land that we can convert into a vegetable farm. And like you, we would enjoy planting not for the money but simply for the joy of harvesting. Right now we always share to neighbors whatever harvest we have.
