Your street planting is a delight to a wanderer and a fan of public spaces like me. I also love the quotes from books on the side of your blog. George Eliot is my favorite writer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-29182004413758327682009-05-01T18:02:00.000-04:002009-05-01T18:02:00.000-04:00Thank you, Dinah...I think I need to talk to the h...Thank you, Dinah...I think I need to talk to the handball boys across the way, too.

I love your blog. Nothing is irrigated in the City's realm. In all the gardens I design(for paying clients), irrigation systems are incorporated. We do get rain, but summer can be very hot and sometimes rain-free, so this public planting is going to be interesting. Gulp...And thank you for adding me to your blogroll :-)<br /><br />Frank - wow. Park Avenue. Begonias without water...it gives me hope. The doormen, sigh. Not the most accommodating of persons. Think Gestapo. Actually not true: one doorman I know routinely carries heavy things for me. I take it back. East Houston betw. 1st and 2nd Ave's.<br /><br />BPG - thank you. It's a good work out, too.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-58302999543837559192009-05-01T13:17:00.000-04:002009-05-01T13:17:00.000-04:00Wonderful job beautifying our world a little more!...Wonderful job beautifying our world a little more!Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436539725605367511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-2141235314323925032009-05-01T10:04:00.000-04:002009-05-01T10:04:00.000-04:00Ahh, this brings back memories of planting a Park ...Ahh, this brings back memories of planting a Park Avenue median in May many years ago. That sweet<br />moment, heavy mil trash bags in hand, at Park Ave doorman's feet, asking as nicely as we could if he would let us into the freight entrance of his building so we could fill our trash bags with water to haphazardly carry back across traffic so to water-in the annuals. Those were the days.<br /><br />Maybe that'll answer Trey's Q? Even on Park Ave there's no water in the median. God Bless the rain.<br /><br />You did a nice job.

No irrigation to them? I am, of course from a place that get's no summer water, so irrigation systems are perhaps more important here. <br /><br />Love your blog. Reminds me of our little 10 sq.ft fire escape garden we had when we lived in The Bay Area. A lot of joy came out of that little oasis.
