Took some quick photos of the plants

Took some quick photos of the plants. It looks like the basil may have reseeded itself - someting that looks like basil is just starting to come back. We'll see. Anyway, here's the measly offering for the summer since we'll be moving halfway through.

There was also a great article this week in the Times about balconies in the city. I was always very surpised at the lack of activity on the balconies along 7th Ave in Park Slope. One other apartment plants some flowers, but that's it. We're leaving the city for greener pastures, but I can only hope that whoever takes over will take advantage of the wooden deck that we built and puts it to good use with some greenery. Michael Pollan makes a good point about why that could be the singularly most important thing that we can do these days.
