As you can see we are growing basil, mint, lemon thyme, three types of chard and cherry tomatoes. So far, the mint has proven to be the most prolific.

How does your garden grow?
As students of both public health and the environment we like to practice what we preach. So the 4 of us are sharing a rooftop garden (more like a bin) this summer. I went today to pluck some of our bounty and I bring you these lush pictures.

nice urban garden! We have a TINY balcony and have managed to grow (from seed) organic carrots, garlic, peas and (not from seed!) strawberries.
ReplyDeleteI tried the mint... and basil... and they weren't very happy.
fun space! :)
Shaky, I took those pictures! Thanks for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteEco Yogini- none of us have ever gardened before so this is an urban experiment. So far all is going well.
