Well, it only took as long as it takes for a human to incubate progeny, but after 9 months – the window farm is complete, and running. Although I’m at the Brooklyn Unit on W/Th, I asked Rhett Dugstad to double-check the system and… success! The system has not sprung a leak after 48 hours of operation.

Currently, I have basil, arugula, habaneros, jalapenos, grape tomatoes, and parsley growing. In the tray behind the window farm, I have jalapenos, cherry tomatoes, and bok choy. Ruth Goldberg (Metro), Karyn Pilgrim (Brooklyn), and I hope to encourage indoor gardens across the center and the units. Next stop – vermiculture!
