I went on an amazing tour today of a farm, yes a farm! on the rooftop of a Brooklyn warehouse. It is amazing. They grow all sorts of things here, like peppers, herbs, flowers, eggplant. You name it! And it's a viable business. They sell their produce! Not only is the farm organic and wonderful, but it has a beautiful view of the East River and Manhattan. Everything looked so lush and delicious. The folks at the garden say that preying mantises have even found the garden, as well as spiders, insects and birds. They also have chicken and sell the chicken eggs. And there's rabbits as well. A real garden, in Brooklyn, 6,000 square feet way up on top of a roof. It's open to the public too, so you can go check it out!

The farm is BEAUTIFUL, Ms. Seitz. I also saw the dried up, wrinkly red peppers that were hung up! When my mom grows pepper plants, she waits for the peppers to get red, and later, we find them looking like the one in your photo! :)
