rooftop gardens: How does your garden grow ...
http://rooftopgardening.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-does-your-garden-grow.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2007. How does your garden grow . Clean laundry blows in the sun. It would be so great if every New York City rooftop was covered with fruits and vegetables, blooming trees, birds, bees and laundry drying in the sun. We can all imagine.

rooftop gardens: Morning Glories
http://rooftopgardening.blogspot.com/2007/07/morning-glories.html
Sunday, July 1, 2007. We are trying to convince these morning glories to cover our water tower. They are starting to wind there way across the monofilament we have strung. The ones that are flowering we bought in pots at the Union Square Greenmarket and now we've wired 7 pots across the front of the water tower structure and planted them with 3 different kinds of morning glories. Perhaps by the end of the summer it will be a beautiful, blue and white wall of flowers. We're crossing our fingers.

rooftop gardens: July 2007
http://rooftopgardening.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 20, 2007. Yes this is our first true bumblebee. We have seen wasps, hornets, tiny bee-like insects and flies aplenty, but a true bumblebee has yet to be seen in action. But this morning he was busy at work, he stopped to visit all the flowers in the garden. He visited all the squash blossoms. He stopped at a multitude of tomato flowers. He nosed around our first miniature sunflower of the season. I think this bodes well for our future harvest. Posted by Ellen Weissbrod, Melissa Powell. We fi...

rooftop gardens: Compost
http://rooftopgardening.blogspot.com/2007/07/compost_01.html
Sunday, July 1, 2007. We have been composting for a couple of years now and it is amazing to see our scraps turn into soil. What is really incredible is all the plants that volunteer to grow of their own volition out of the compost. At the moment I have transplanted about 15 tomato plants of unknown species as well as and various squash? Plants that took root and grew out of the pots with the various seedlings I grew from seed and purposefully planted. Posted by Ellen Weissbrod, Melissa Powell.

rooftop gardens: Sifting the compost.
http://rooftopgardening.blogspot.com/2007/07/sifting-compost.html
Monday, July 2, 2007. About a month ago we sifted the material in our oldest compost bin. It seemed like it had done all the cooking it was going to do in its present state and it was time to see what we had. We bought some 1/4 in screen and stapled it on a wooden frame and just went for it. There was still a lot of stuff that had yet to break down - you can see the some seeds and a lot of eggshells. Well at least a small step. Posted by Ellen Weissbrod, Melissa Powell. I had a couple of questions.

rooftop gardens: Firsts
http://rooftopgardening.blogspot.com/2007/07/firsts.html
Sunday, July 1, 2007. This is our first cucumber - I think I should probably pick it at this size. And this is our first eggplant, I really don't know how big it will get.

rooftop gardens: Unwanted Guest
http://rooftopgardening.blogspot.com/2007/07/unwanted-guest.html
Monday, July 2, 2007. It is amazing that 8 stories above the ground unwanted guests still find their way to the garden. Today a tomato hornworm stopped by. I can't believe how well camouflaged they are. Anyway I was so disgusted that I hastily removed not only the worm but the branch he was on as well. Http:/ answers.yahoo.com/question/index? But I just went for it. Http:/ www.a-garden-diary.com/pests.htm. Posted by Ellen Weissbrod, Melissa Powell. July 2, 2007 at 6:44 PM. Ellen Weissbrod, Melissa Powell.

rooftop gardens: June 2007
http://rooftopgardening.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2007. Since we were out all day and didn't return home until 10pm, I was a bit worried about the garden. So we traipsed up to the roof to water. I had never watered at night before and it was a bit tricky. The plants all appeared happy though; standing up tall - they seemed to have grown inches since the morning. Jim snapped these photos as I made my rounds. Right now we probably have at least 100 green tomatoes. Can't wait for them to ripen. Posted by Ellen Weissbrod, Melissa Powell.
