Tone Matters. Use It Well.
Alright folks, let's see those pandemic gardens!
My wife asked me to build a raised garden bead for her this year, we'll see how long she sticks with it. I don't have a green thumb, but I love the idea of a garden.
On a side note: Does anyone have any experience growing Romanesco Broccoli? I've never eaten it, but I am fascinated with the way it looks.

Shawn,
I've personally not tried broccoli, though my brother in MN has had good success with asparagus early in the season. The reason for the look of the broccoli is based on the Golden Ratio, originally investigated by Euclid of Greek times, and expounded by Fibonacci, who provided mathematical evidence of the infinite series calculation.
Fibonacci's series is found in many of this world's creations, including snow crystals, sunflower seeds (still in flower), insects' eyes, nautilus' shells, and many additional creations.
You can read up on the math here on Wiki, or if perhaps you like to know more, just watch any of the PBS Nature TV series which describes Fibonacci's series.
Personally, I've always been in awe of what natural wonders exist, and how well-thought out the structure and process is involved.
