She grew what we thought were beefsteak tomatoes upside down in a hanging basket...they ended up being Grape Tomatoes (like cherry, only larger and egg shaped). The silly thing has been taken down and draped over the back fence and is STILL delivering ripe tomatoes, though it's getting cold out. And you're right. You can absorb things many different ways but none that touches the "roots" as well as the actual living. Wu Wei indeed! The right way, the wrong way, and the Wu Wei....

Although if those tomatoes are Brandywines, I dare say you wouldn't be watching the mosquitoes, but trying to terminate them with extreme prejudice.

There's another person on the planet who, like myself, belongs to the ice and snow! Can't say I can follow you into that garden with or without fish emulsion, even though I celebrate all seasons, but I think your research methodology is profound, guy. And a brilliant column about it to boot. You almost have me willing to go out there and watch the mosquitoes practice sucking blood out of tomatoes. -- Sully I know you wrote a lot of cool stuff, Brian, but all I can focus on is “… snow and ice and all things winter…” There’s another person on the planet who, like myself, belongs to the ice and snow!
