Thanks for the ping. Neighbor picked about dozen toms yesterday, praise God, as the garden is still producing, and will if temps stay above 50. I would like to create a cheap heated from for growing seedlings next year, but we do not have a outside power outlet near where sun would heat it up. Maybe some cheap solar cell that could charge a battery, that would power a 12v car heater enough to keep the frame above freezing.

Meanwhile, speaking of experiments:

For some time medical hyperbaric chambers have been used to hasten healing of skin injuries and various other ailments... Around the world, evidence is mounting that these chambers can reduce infection (as the skin itself absorbs oxygen), heal diseases, decrease stress, and enhance stamina....

Particularly interesting experiments were conducted by the late Dr. Kei Mori of Keio University in Tokyo. Dr. Mori raised Kai MoriKai Moriplants under special light that filtered out IR and UV radiation.... One long-lived tomato plant (shown right) was grown in a special nutrient-rich hydroponic solution to be exhibited at the Japan Expo ‘85. Under piped sunlight and controlled atmosphere, this veritable “tomato tree” grew over 30 ft high and yielded more than 13,000 ripe tomatoes during the six months of the Expo! (Hiroshi, Koichibara, “Tomatomation,” UNESCO Courier, March 1987.)

Dan Carlson was inspired by Genesis 2:6 (“But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground…”) to do experiments with “misting” plants...A purple passion plant, which normally grows to about 18 inches, grew under Carlson’s care to a Guinness World Record 1,300 ft high plant. Carlson grew 10 inch long potatoes and cantaloupes the size of soccer balls. Genesis Park staff worked with a local “big pumpkin” grower to test the Sonic Bloom formula. The result was a 1,458 pound pumpkin that was the world’s record as of its weighing in September, 2003! - https://www.genesispark.com/exhibits/early-earth/experiments/

grew under Carlson’s care to a Guinness World Record 1,300 ft high plant.

With a giant that lived up on top!

"He also incorporated the music of birds with certain oscillating frequencies that open the plants’ stomata (shown to the left under a scanning electron microscope). While these pores are open, the leaves are sprayed with a plant nutrient enzyme. The results are amazing."

Not described in Genesis, but still an interesting system!
