Team this with the uncertain future of the 2018 rookie of the year and triple all-star’s future at Philadelphia and the trade rumour mill running hot, it seems perfectly logical Simmons turn his immediate focus to said individual skill development, work on and fine tune his game, regain confidence and probably find enjoyment from the sport again. It is a sad sight when a pro athlete is so visibly and desperately out of form and fighting a battle above the shoulders. The 2016 No 1 NBA draft pick, whose struggle to connect from the three-point line has been well documented, was now totally bereft of confidence. His post-season free throw percentage of 34.2 was the worst in league history, from a minimum of 70 attempts, according to ESPN. Simmons averaged 9.9 points per game, shooting at 33 per cent from the free throw line. In a deciding game seven he attempted just four shots from the deep and only took 10 shots or more in just two games of the eastern conference series. Simmons has had a rough trot, dismal in a semi-final series where his 76ers were eliminated by Atlanta. This situation is complex, delicate and more than a US-based Australian too big for his boots snubbing his country for the biggest of tournaments.

With these fundamentals covered, Coleman moves on to his main thesis. Most importantly, Coleman illustrates how to make top-notch organic compost and shares ways to have this indispensable garden ingredient in abundance. Along with these basics comes advice on soil structure, bed design and construction, tools, and infrastructure such as trellises. It all starts with good garden design – easy access from the kitchen, pleasing aesthetics, and proper siting are key to the garden’s function and your enjoyment. These techniques are informed by the type of seasonal eating that has become the holy grail of the farm-to-table movement. In Four-Season Harvest, Coleman lays out basic, low-tech methods for harvesting from the garden year-round. This diligent and practical New England persona has probably seduced many a would-be grower into buying his books, but I think the real draw for most gardeners is the simplicity of his approach and his simple goal as a grower: to eat well. Not only that but, more than likely, he has fashioned, designed, or otherwise modified said tools to perfectly suit his needs in his carefully-planned, organized, and abundant garden. From reading his books (or looking at a Johnny’s catalog) you can easily imagine that every tool is his shed is sharp, rust-free, and in its right place.
