This is about design again.

I astonished myself by not realizing the way Nature is designed until recently.

I was planting my Purple Calabash tomato seeds and, for the first time, noticed that there is a round or blunt end as well as a sharp end on the seeds that I was planting.

The sharp end goes into the planting medium first. It is a little wedge that enables the seed into the ground.

The tomato seeds are fuzzy and flat. The likeness of perfectly coiled embryo tomatoes, looking like coiled fern fronds about to unfurl, are "painted" on the sides of the seeds.


Pigs' tails curl. Curls are intrinsic to the design of pigs, just as horse tails are long and flowing like their running stride.
