need to grow stuff that you can pick as needed, and you like. I gave away heaps of tomatoes this year, plus tom paste. greens are good as you can pick a few leaves at a time, and they are fresh.

ok, so we eat spinach and cherry tomatoes… or like you say, set it up so that one guy grows the tomatoes and the other neighbours grows cucumbers.. etc and do swapsies – until neighbour 12 has a huge fight with neighbour 8 aout leaving their car parked on the verge, so they no longer swap corn and broccoli, so them neighbour 8 decides they will just grow all the veggies and move his car off the verge to do so.. then has to greenhouse them so the ghastly neighbour kids don’t come pick his food in the middle of the night, which leads him to selling his food to the other neighbours via a little stand on the verge where his car used to be parked… because he has too much wastage – which he then franchises into more store in other streets.. and we end up the same because it’s actually cheaper and easier to buy other peoples work than finance a whole garden yourself. – and anyway you are too busy writing to the local council about neighbours cars parked on the verge

There is a lot of Mutual Aid in Minnesotal.

That’s been a wonderfully bright spot in Minnesota’s recent troubles.
