Tomato History & Bulb Planning E:34 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There may be no more politically complicated fruit than the tomato. The tomato has started arguments over botany, taxes, agriculture, food traditions, seed ownership, biotechnology, and even what counts as a vegetable. Today we're going to follow the tomato through history, from its wild ancestors to indigenous agriculture, European colonization, Italian cuisine, American politics, industrial farming, and finally into a controversial subject- why do we call a tomato a vegetable? You know that mo
Pickle Pride & Garden Editing E:33 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you've ever visited a state fair in late summer, you may have had a pickle served on a stick, deep-fried, battered, stuffed, or wrapped. But pickles are more than just a fairground snack.

Today we're talking about corn sweat. By August, the garden starts sending alarming group text. The hydrangea has yellow leaves, the peony looks dusted with powdered sugar, and something has punched holes in
Wildfires & Grasses E:30 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The sun hangs low and red, and the air smells faintly of burning wood. A summer afternoon looks more like an apocalyptic sunset and an air alert pop oops and an alert pops up on your phone. Air quality is unhealthy. Today we're heading north into the vast boreal forest to look into why all these wildfires are happening. By August, the hostas have lost a bar fight with the slugs. The daylilies are wearing yesterday's makeup, and half the garden has stopped returning emails. Meanwhile, perennial g
