Here are some photos of what's happening on our rooftop garden at SPEC.
Strawberries!
Nasturtiums - both the flower and leaves are edible
this broccoli has a great start
these tomatoes are loving the heat on our rooftop
garlic in the vertical planter - the scapes will soon be snipped and sauteed
lettuce starts to replace those that will soon come out.
It's not all problem free - aphids looove fava beans
a chemical free way of dealing with the problem is to spray them off with a strong stream of water
this gives our beans a fighting chance, so that hopefully we can harvest them in the next weeks
happy food growing!
