Good to see-- but you don't need to take the buildings out-

This one was featured on a news show a month or so ago--

3 stories up in Brooklyn- a great view of Manhattan & 6000 square feet
of garden. And its a CSA to boot with a bunch of local eateries
buying their wares.

They grow "cucumbers, hot peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, spinach,
radishes, kale, swiss chard, carrots, peas, beans, salad greens
(lettuces, mustards, arugula) herbs (sage, tarragon, oregano, parsley,
chives, cilantro, dill), and flowers (cosmos, zinnias, calendula,
tobacco, daisys, hops). Additionally, the Farm grows a small amount of
corn and squash (winter and summer)."
