Warm-Weather
Crops Are Here!
The heat-loving favorites are rolling in, eggplant, cucumbers, peppers, and basil are all producing great yields at the Harvest Tables this summer. None of it happens without help though: bees and other pollinators have been buzzing from bloom to bloom all season, doing the essential work that makes every harvest possible!
a Note from your farmer, nadine
The rooftop garden at Columbia Square has been producing a spectacular abundance of vegetables this summer. Cucumber vines are growing tall along their trellising, kale and collards are bursting from the beds, and the summer-loving tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants are laden with fruits. The harvest tables have been piled high with fluffy greens, colorful fruits, and fragrant herbs every week, and we're excited to continue sharing the harvest with the tenants of Columbia Square for the rest of the season!
What’s your favorite part about summer in this garden?
I love how well the greens grow in this garden, they always seem especially abundant and happy on this rooftop.

Over 11 POUNDS harvested so far this season!
Did you know?
Basil is part of the mint family, which is why it grows so fast and fills out so quickly once the weather warms up. It's also one of those rare herbs that actually tastes better the more you use it: regularly pinching off leaves and flower buds encourages the plant to grow bushier and produces even more flavorful leaves all season.
