Window Farms





(Above: A Window farm and some cool street art. Photo by Britta & Rebecca)

One of the only things I've always hated about living in asphalt-covered New York City is that I haven't been able to grow my own special garden. Now, thanks to the geniuses behind windowfarms.org, I can! So everyone better be PRETTY DARN NICE to me from now on. (JK. Or am I?)

Yes, Miss. Fishbein. Of course, Miss. Fishbein. Whatever you say, Miss. Fishbein.

That is a pretty nifty idea. Very useful for cities. (Or hiding it in your room where you don't want your mom to see.)

wow, that's some pretty sweet plants. I like the city, a lot! Probably cuz i've lived in the country my whole life! I don't think my mom would allow me to grow something like that, though! Even if I lived in the city.

Funny Drama Girl said...

kiki21 & Mushroomcloud: I don't care who did it first. Memento Mori = Latin for "Remember, you will die." Or, in the words of the cake. 'I'm Gonna Get You...' bah bah bummm

MushroomCloud said...

PLEASE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am shriveling from lack of weird news!!!!

Alice Cullen said...

It WAS a dare...

Alice Cullen said...

bumpkin.
(Sorry! but I have taken a sworn oath never to turn down a dare!)

Alice P. Liddell said...

Really innovative. I wonder if the air in New York would be less toxic if like every residence would have a garden. Or maybe the polution would kill the gardens. Hmm...

where did the shadow city store disappear to? :( :O :C :0

Poison Pen said...

A handy place to store all your wicked plants! XD

P.S. Any progress with Kiki 3? As an amature writer myself, I know these things take time, but as a reader I can't help being rather anxious for the next one!

Kinga said...

Thats cool! I live in Chicago and I have a pretty big backyard and a garden. I grew so many tomatoes and stuff.
Have any of you heard about this 30foot monster that is suupposed to live someplace(I think Florida)? http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/nov/16/man-says-30-foot-monster-lurking-canals-madeira-be/news-metro/

Anna said...

oh, kathleen, i pray you are right! i keep having taunting dreams of it coming out... :(

MushroomCloud said...

u better have a good excuse 4 this young lady!(how often i hear that) but seriously, r u dead? that would b a bummer, I am practically a dried out hull from lack of wierdness! ive been reading old posts!

Poison Pen said...

Mushroom Cloud: Totally. I've resorted to googling 'weird' just to get my fix. *sigh* It just doesn't work. -_-

Funny Drama Girl said...

Lucy Myster: Okay. I took the same oath.

Forrester said...

Kiki21: I say (tis is one of my many convoluted logic techniques)flip a coin, and if you feel disappointed, go with the other one. (Tell me if this works.)

Poison Pen said...

Kiki21: I faced the same problem not too long ago. What I did was I looked for negative points for each and then sat down with the positives and the negatives and gave "points" to each school--+1 point for the positives, -1 point for the negatives. Whichever had the most points at the end was the one I went to. And after I did that, I promised myself that I wouldn't think about the decision anymore, and that it was a done deal. Of course, everyone's different, so that might not work for you. Hope that helped?
