Let it rain
If you’re anywhere near Brooklyn, you know we’ve been getting more than our fair share of rain this month. For the garden, rain is generally a wonderful thing, but it’s frustrating to know that so much of what falls goes more or less unused. New York City is largely paved over (some would consider that [...]

Real tomato time, not silly little cherry tomato time. After taking their sweet time through June [...]
Harvest Week Two

The cherry tomatoes are coming in like gangbusters and the garden has been generous with summer squash as well, including some massive zucchini! Most exciting for this novice farmer has been the basil, which is so much lovelier than any basil I’ve ever bought, whether from a grocery store or [...]
Reaping what we sow: Prospect Farm’s first harvests!
It’s been 2-3 months since seeds/starter plants went into the ground, and by last week the Farm was finally ready to beginning harvesting some of the bounty! The members harvested on July 7 and July 9 (see many more pictures here). For me - a new Prospect Farm member who had never set foot in a [...]
