http://www.wnyc.org/culture On Saturday mornings, at the intersection of New Lots & Schenck Aves, farm stands sprout up in narrow rows, selling fresh strawberries, carrots, okra and other locally grown produce. While some of that produce comes from upstate farms, much of it is grown by two dozen New York City teenagers. They're interns at East New York Farms, where, since March, they've been hoeing, seeding, and composting on what was once a trash-strewn lot in East New York, Brooklyn.

we have a neighboor garden that is vaster than this but its very left behind , since a month ago, we started taking little care of it, removing bad plants and trying to creat more bio mass, and planing loguat fruit trees and mallberry tree as it like it here " fez/ morocco" but still far from starting farming on it, people here arent yet as far as american people when it comes to getting sick of the citizen life and its food, so we are still looking funny in their eyes,
