“Science is not about what we know, or think we know, so much as it is about how we know it. It is the person who knows how we know that participates in science. Only that person can reasonably discuss whether our understanding of the world is true or false.”

“Whatever vision you have for your perfect garden, you need to listen to the garden, and not cling to ideas that simply won't work for your climate, your soil, or your lighting.

― Russ Colson, A Little Book of Gardening: in Northwest Minnesota
