This is Berlin’s take on the community garden, located in green space off the now retired Tempelhof Airport runways. All the gardens are in raised beds because the fuel-drenched soil is conducive to healthy vegetables, but of course Berliners do it in style. Note the tongue-in-cheek political statement on the repurposed water bottles.

Last week I had a lunch meeting with my friend Cassandra. She set a fine table and we ate alfresco on her back porch. I brought a salad of Black Seeded Simpson, Romaine lettuce, Rouge d’Hiver and tender pea shoots. Fresh chunks of feta cheese, pita bread, hummus, and poppy seed dressing accompanied the meal. Delicious food certainly makes a meeting lots more fun.
I harvested our salad this morning from one of my garden beds. These winter sowed lettuces I planted late October 2011 are still being consumed today. Amazing that these plants have been in the ground for 6+ months. This 12’ salad bed provided food for our family, friends, and to some who’ve lost their jobs.

The window plants keep multiplying. A handful are a friend’s that I’m plant-sitting while she’s away.

“Michelle Cheng, a graduate of the Ryerson University School of Interior Design, has designed a vertical farm for her thesis. She didn’t place it at the waterfront or in the theater district, she put it in the middle of a transitioning residential area with a large social housing component, full of people who need affordable fresh food.”
