When Mel approached me and said that she was doing an experiment, I was completely on board and yet skeptical due to my and my BF's living arrangements. He lives in a studio in Chinatown with just a fire escape and I live in a condo with no direct sunlight.
Mel graciously gave me three types of tomatoes. Whipper Snapper, Brookpact and Silver Fir (I think that's how you spell it.) My Whipper Snappers have not only grew to a crazy height (inside my BF's studio apt) we now have flowers. Obviously not having bees to cross pollinate, I have taken it upon myself to do it manually. I have become the bee... I bought a paint brusha and I go from flower to flower, moving the pollin around.
We have also started putting the million Cayenne pepper plants, and herbs on the fire escape and they look amazing out there.
As you can see the basil is coming up well and there are just a few of the cayenne peppers!T
