“We’ve had some amazing harvests already in the North Columbia Heights Green, alley behind El Chucho/Red Rocks. This weeks harvest includes: kale, collards, chard, lettuce, tomatoes, beets, radishes, green beans, garlic, peppers, eggplant, carrots and herbs! We are owned by Washington Parks and People and have open community work hours every Saturday at 10am! All are welcome to learn about urban farming and meet your neighbors!”

“I succession planted a number of cucumbers so that they would hopefully not all ripen at once. But today i picked both of these! One for a friend, and one for me. I live in van ness, and grow everything in a container. One is a bush crop, the other has at a much longer vine. I use solar powered led lights to trellis things.

Regret not taking a photo of these giants side by side. Next time!!!”
