This is so awesome.
These enterprising youngsters have a farm
on the roof top of a building in Brooklyn!
on the roof top of a building in Brooklyn!
Wow.
The description below was taken from a Martha Stewart web site.
Farmers Annie Novak and Ben Flanner oversee Eagle Street Rooftop Farm (formerly Rooftop Farms),
a unique, 6,000-square-foot organic
vegetable farm located on a warehouse roof in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
To begin this remarkable project, Goode Green,
a green-roof installation company,
transformed the roof using 200,000 pounds of soil and a wide variety of crops.
Now, the crops they grow are sought by neighborhood restaurants,
which donate their compost-ready waste back to Eagle Street Rooftop Farm.

The pictures were taken from various Google searches.
I admire their gumption.
And, it makes me want to sing a song. ; )
The farmer's daughter could do a roof top garden in the city! ; )
Sometimes I think I should have been a farmer.
My squash, peas, grapes, raspberries, cucumbers, rhubarb, tomatoes,
and herbs are all looking so healthy
and it just warms my heart.
A splendid Monday to you,
my friends and family that are so
dear to my
heart!
