    That’s because we were never meant to be rugged individuals. It’ll be a lot more survivable if we build stronger communities.

    Most people with home gardens have so much produce that they can’t even give it away lol. I grew tomatoes last year and it was all I could do to keep up with three plants in the late summer.

      I grow tomatoes because they taste infinitely better than what you can buy.

      Yes, I end up with more tomatoes than I can consume. For about one month. For about 8 months of the year if I want fresh tomatoes I have to buy them still.
