Rooftop Garden: The Right Amount of Attention

13 June 2011

I’ve been watering my garden every morning and usually visiting it every night. I may be irritating it as it has starting to show signs of wilting…I think it needs space. It’s tough being a loving mom who only wants what’s best! The transplants are looking rough, and even the tomatoes do not look as chipper as when they came from the store. How can it know what’s best for itself: it’s in a new environment, certainly not evolved to thrive in a plastic clothing bin sitting in Styrofoam on a silver painted six story New York City roof! That said, I do not know what is best for it, either. I’m a new gardener, or at least in terms of my own personal garden!
