Adventures in urban food production. A journal of my efforts to grow chiltepin and de arbol peppers on my roof and indoors in Brooklyn NY.

Constantly carrying containers.

That’s what work is these days. Containers delivered to two new sites since last week, and some seedlings are now out in the “field.” I am so psyched about the new soil mix. Containers are so much lighter than last year – typically 20-25 lbs damp compared to 30-35 lbs last year. Walking up endless flights of stairs with buckets under my nose the growing medium smells fresh, like dirt that just took a shower.
