Today we were gifted this 20 lb carp. Our neighbor's son, Dean, brought it as a contribution to the ever-expanding garden. This gift came after a conversation with Dean in which he reavealed that his (now-80+ dad) used to have the best tomatoes around. We asked what his secret was and Dean said "nothing." Then he thought for a moment and said "well, he did used to plant a carp underneath each of his tomato plants."
We have already planted our tomatoes for the summer, so there is no chance of putting this guy under any of our plants. However, they are in 4x4 square beds (four plants to a bed) so Rhonda bravely butchered the fish and I dug holes in four of our beds. Here's hoping.
No carp? I've heard that placenta also works!
