Re: "I live and work at the Benson Place, a blueberry farm in..."
my favorite kind of heirloom tomato is Aunt Ruby:

good luck with composting! It’s a super interesting process, and can require a lot of attention, at least while you’re getting going
Also, I love cherry tomatoes so much. We also have too many, but we dehydrate the extras and they are great in soups throughout the wintertime.
— the sweetest snacking tomatoes ever!

Hello fellow New Englander! I am taking a break from gardening this season; time constraints as well as a groundhog that has taken up residence next to the plot. My parsley has volunteered again this year along with some other herbs, currently in mint season. I may plant some cannabis if I can find some clones; that is fun to grow and hopefully Mr. Groundhog won't chomp it on me.

@murdock hi! oh yes, we love the groundhogs. Nice to get some volunteers even when you don't have time to garden 😊 we have gotten some wacky volunteer squash over the years.
I live and work at the Benson Place, a blueberry farm in western Massachusetts. My family has goats, chickens, rabbits, and we grow just about every vegetable which can survive on our windy mountaintop. We produce over 50% of our own food by value. I know many geminauts are interested in these things, and I'd be interested to hear what kind of food-growing endeavors you are up to!
