The beginning…

I was able to get two plots at the local community garden. I attended my first meeting yesterday. We shared Indian food and introduced ourselves.

They are gardeners originally from Los Angeles, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, Colorado, Mexico and New Orleans who now live locally in South L.A. Everyone was kind and had different levels of gardening experience.

I’ll be growing plants for workshops, classes, displays and my restoration project. Gives me a spot to experiment with flowers as well. I’m setting up a pepper patch!!

According to the Hunter College of New York City Food Policy Center, approximately 23.8% of Harlem is food insecure compared to 15.4% of New York City residents. The ratio (1:11) of supermarkets to bodegas in Central Harlem decreases access to healthier fresh foods. This is a major factor in the higher rates of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes in the area. Uptown Good Food allow those who qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/EBT), Women Infants And Children (WIC), Over-the-Counter (OTC), Health Bucks & FreshConnect to purchase fresh produce and participate in the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.

The most common mistake we see in instagram gardens is overcrowding of plants. Can some plants do just fine this way? Absolutely and yet squash won’t . Planting squash too closely is a recipe for disaster. Powdery mildew, blossom end rot, squash bug and vine borer paradise, soil depletion….the list goes on. Rotation: Take a note from our ancestors, history, and our own gardens plant in patches not rows. This makes rotation easier and proper rotation aids in replenishing of the soil. You know we always speak on interplanting herbs as a pest control, squash can especially benefit from the ones mentioned here. Powdery mildew is your nemesis if you’ve planted too close together especially 😵‍💫 but you can face it head on with a tbsp of baking soda, tbsp of Castile soap, and gallon of water. Mix these together and spray on your squash to kick powdery mildews butt across the season. Squash are heavy feeders- they benefit from following nitrogen fixing legumes along with the leafy greens. Got more questions? Drop them in the comments.

Cultivating horizons: Exploring the magical potential 0f urban rooftop Farming

Urban rooftop farming can create a city where every rooftop is a lush garden, a green oasis in the middle of the forest concrete.
