The garden was created by a the owner of Edgewater Landscape, who says this is his first urban farm.
Happy greenhouse with tomatoes inside and citrus in containers outside . I have heat unit envy (says Nancy).

Larry, the owner (above), greeted all with “This is our first year “. First year at vegetables, not successful gardening as he is a landscaper.

Oh, it looks like Astoria has some lovely gardens too. This was the same weekend as the Fling? Do you think it’s worth a trip to check it out next year? I drove through Astoria last year, and thought it looked like an interesting city, with lots of cool houses.

It is a fascinating city, and what better time to visit than during the garden tour. Yes, it was the Saturday of the fling.
