Summer apprentices: go and grow forth!

Glorious: the rain and cool air of fall has come early this year (at least for now).  While we may wish for an Indian Summer in a few days, the break from six weeks of burning heat is welcome.  The last burst of rain came on the final day of our summer apprenticeship program. Since late April, an incredible team of green thumbs have been making the produce at the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm a pleasure to cultivate, harvest and eat.  From experienced growers to the wildly curious, the crew came on board for three days a week to learn agricultural techniques suited to rooftop growing, urban farming, and the time-tried practices of growing your own food. Thank you and best wishes to those farmers going forth (a few back to school, and some down to ground-level land): Karen, Doug, Jules, Midori, Amy, Tess, and Marla!
