Our rooftop garden is doing phenomenal. The summer weather in Chicago has been off to an intense start. We have had tremendous rain storms for the past week and lots of sunshine to follow. My little dears are soakin it up and lovin it. We need to finish putting up the lattice and figure out a method for the sheers to filter light on those scorching hot days.
Check out the progress: EeekkkK!!!!

If you live in Chicago and want a rooftop garden of your own, you can contact David at davidcarollo@hotmail.com for consulting and/or construction. It’s not too late to get a garden of your own going!
