Garden of the Day: Cemetery Views
And now for a little change of pace: A condo terrace overlooking Green-wood Cemetery…I’m trying to achieve a balance between an outdoor place to entertain and relax and a place to grow vegetables, plants and herbs. My wife is a baker and I cook a lot so we entertain as much as we can in the summer. I’ve got a wide variety of vegetation out there including tomato plants, peppers, celery, swiss chard, strawberries, peas, beans, cucumbers, lots of lettuces and mustard greens and then every herb under the sun (pun intended there) — sage, chives, chamomile, rosemary etc. etc. It’s amazing how easy it is to sustain a garden on a roof deck, you just need some good soil, lots of light and a nice watering for 5 minutes a day and we don’t really have to worry about pests or weeds in our little ecosystem.
Any other terrace submissions out there?
